The write-up on Hyperledger Fabric & other tools in the ecosystem has details on how to get off the ground. While the Hyperledger ecosystem is made up of several early stage technologies with a lot of ground to cover, yet it's got enough to interest technologists & blockchain enthusiasts.
Another blockchain project that looks promising is Corda. The Corda abstractions & concepts seem properly thought out, esp. given it's finance domain focus. Kotlin as the language of choice for Corda is another interesting read.
David's perspectives on Bockchain are insightful. Though, I don't much agree with his 3rd solution/ depiction to the problem (communal open database + trusted historians), it's similar to stuff that exists today. Corda's abstractions mentioned earlier seem better & might mainstream. His other point about building blockchains backed by databases is right. But specifically building one on Microsoft Sql Server seems weird, guess it's not even part of the Blockchain solution at Microsoft. Expecting to hear a lot more about rdbms & NoSql databases backed Blockchains in the near future.
Another much debated issue in the Blockchain community is around Block Size Limits. Different implementations have different size limits which can have an impact on the design of the Blockchain based application. Corda for instance offers an off-chain solution as attachments, while Ethereum potentially has no upper limit, though not recommended for storing large files.
