Watch Sameera Jayasoma discuss the role of modern programming languages in cloud-native application development.
Watch the video
Synopsis
Cloud native programming inherently involves working with remote endpoints: microservices, serverless, APIs, WebSockets, SaaS apps and more.
Ballerina is a new programming language that is designed to bring code-first agility to the challenge of integrating across endpoints. Ballerina has first-class support for distributed transactions, circuit-breakers, stream processing, data-access, JSON, XML, gRPC, and many other integration challenges. It deploys directly onto Docker and Kubernetes. It integrates with common IDEs including IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code.
Most importantly, Ballerina underlies the Choreo digital platform, designed to create, deploy, and run APIs, microservices, and integrations on Kubernetes. Companies use Choreo to design, develop, deploy and operate enterprise applications. A successful demonstration was given to BCS SPA in July 2022.
