DeveloperWeek Austin 2019

Modern applications that we are building increasingly depends on network endpoints. Whether it is data, SaaS apps, APIs, microservices, serverless functions, everything is becoming programmable endpoints. Integration is the discipline of resilience communication between these endpoints.

Ballerina is a new open source, cloud native programming language that is designed to bring code-first agility to the challenge of integrating across endpoints. The Ballerina language has first-class support for services, distributed transactions, circuit-breakers, stream processing, data-access, JSON, XML, gRPC, and many other integration challenges. It is a compiled, transactional, statically and strongly typed programming language with textual and graphical syntaxes.

Ballerina understands the architecture around it - the compiler is environment aware with microservices directly deployable into infrastructures like Kubernetes and Istio Service Mesh.

This session will explore how Ballerina specializes in writing microservices and deploy into Kubernetes and Istio without written YAMLs and dockerfile.
