One of the common needs of any system is benchmarking. Hyperledger Caliper is a blockchain-oriented benchmarking tool, designed to help blockchain architects ensure that the system can perform fast enough to meet the needs of the hosting organizations. Using a set of pre-defined, common use cases, Hyperledger Caliper will report an assortment of critical performance measurements, such as resource usage, Transactions Per Second (TPS), transaction latency, and so on.

Using Caliper, a team working on blockchain applications can take continuous measurements as they build out smart contracts and transaction logic and use those measurements to monitor performance changes. Caliper is compatible with Sawtooth, Indy, and Fabric blockchain systems.
