Session: Ballerina - Role of modern programming language in cloud-native applications
In the past, developers primarily focused on writing code without worrying much about deployment. However, in today’s cloud era, development goes beyond just writing and building—it also involves considering various deployment options. As a result, deployment has become an integral part of programming, making first-class language support for deployment a valuable advantage.Ballerina[https://ballerina.io/] is a modern open-source programming language designed to streamline the journey from code to cloud while enhancing the developer experience. It is built with network awareness as a core principle, making it particularly well-suited for microservices development.
This session will showcase how Ballerina’s built-in cloud support enables a seamless transition from code to deployment. Through live coding demos, we will explore how Ballerina minimizes friction, enhances developer productivity, and leverages AI-driven capabilities for an intuitive and efficient development process.
Key Takeaways
- Seamless Code-to-Cloud Transition – Learn how Ballerina’s built-in cloud support eliminates deployment complexities, enabling developers to move from writing code to running applications in the cloud with minimal friction.
- Enhanced Developer Productivity – Discover how Ballerina’s network-aware architecture and intuitive syntax simplify microservices development, reducing boilerplate code and improving efficiency.
- AI-Driven and Intelligent Development – See how Ballerina leverages AI-powered insights and automation to enhance the developer experience, making cloud-native application development more intuitive and productive.
