I am developing a private ethereum-based DApp and writing an academic paper for a final year project. I'm trying to "blockchainify" an existing system that adopts a traditional client-server approach.
The goal of the study is to prove the feasibility of a blockchain solution as an alternative platform from that of a traditional web application. The goal is not about is to prove that blockchain is more effective or ineffective than the traditional approach. So this is more of an exploratory research.
Regardless of the usecase, and the application that I am trying to build. What are some measurable functional or performance metrics that I can use to possibly compare my DApp to the other one. Security for example is a descriptive parameter which is almost always associated with DApp, but effectiveness is a broad word, and I would want to provide some measurable metrics to evaluate whether a DApp is effective or not.
Assuming that every functionality is implemented and works exactly in the Dapp as is in the original application, what are some measurable performance metrics that can be used to evaluate effectiveness or ineffectiveness of a Decentralized App?
ps. if the question is too broad, and if it helps, I can provide specific context.
