Session: Ballerina - Open Source Cloud Native Programming Language

In the old days, developers didn't have to think much about the deployment aspects of the program they developed. But in the current cloud era, we write it, build it, and then think about the various ways of running it as well. That might be a binary running on a machine of some kind (virtual or physical) or package it into a container or maybe take that container and make it part of a more extensive deployment (K8s) or possibly deploy it into a serverless or service mesh. So deployment aspects are inevitable for programmers now, and having first-class support from the programming languages is a great value addition.

[Ballerina](https://ballerina.io/) is a new open-source programming language that specializes in moving from code to cloud while providing a unique developer experience. Also, the language is carefully designed and implemented by considering network awareness as a first principle while making it easy for microservices development.

Ballerina compiler can read config files and other first-class cloud-related constructs which are available with the source code itself, and then it generate the required artifacts to deploy your code into different clouds. These artifacts can be Dockerfile, Docker image, Kubernetes YAML's, or Serverless functions required to deploy your code into different clouds.

The latest major release of Ballerina, named Swan Lake, was released in February 2022 with significant new language features, the Swan Lake version, which was released in February 2022. This session will demonstrate how to go from code to the cloud using built-in cloud support in Ballerina.
