With this brief introduction, developers and software architects will learn how Ballerina can speed development and reduce failures in today's cloud native, distributed environments. Ballerina is a general-purpose cloud native programming language that specializes in integration. On the surface, it looks like many other C-style languages, but Ballerina also contains features that incorporate current best practices for web programming, microservices, and Agile- or DevOps-oriented development. In this report, O'Reilly editor Andy Oram helps you understand what Ballerina offers and how it solves modern development problems. You'll explore how: High-level Ballerina features make it easier to conduct network activities This language is designed around DevOps practices with an IDE-based build system Ballerina includes a module for continuous integration and testing Modules for deploying programs on Docker, Kubernetes, or AWS Lambda are included Ballerina also features compiler extensions, security, concurrency, and error checking. |
