Magesh Kasthuri discusses how city administration can use blockchain. He provides various insights into decentralized architecture, including its technology benefits and security implementation. The article highlights a need for self-healing and auto-scaling services within a smart city architecture, which can be achieved by a blockchain network based on HyperLedger Fabric in a cloud environment. Blockchain can make cities more efficient and more resilient and adds greater transparency and security to a city’s digital processes.

As you probably know, Kanban boards, whether physical or online, are used as a tool for supporting Kanban. The success of Kanban has led to the creation of several excellent implementations of online Kanban boards. With such easy availability of these well-crafted tools, can we put them to other uses?
