Navigating the Cloud-Native Integration Landscape: A Practical Approach with Ballerina and Choreo
In the rapidly evolving cloud-native era, enterprise integration presents unique challenges and opportunities. This discussion delves into the diverse landscape of enterprise integrations, highlighting the ease of implementing data flows through low-code/no-code platforms, contrasted with the complexities involved in control flow integrations that often necessitate traditional programming languages like Java and JavaScript for customizations and extensions. The emphasis is on enabling developers to choose their preferred approach, whether low-code or code, while maintaining consistent development best practices consistent across the organization. This approach caters to a variety of integration types, including automations, events, and APIs.
The session delves into the capabilities of the Ballerina Integration Language, which is instrumental for developers in the enterprise integration space. Ballerina stands out for its visual representation of integration code and its extensive range of over a thousand enterprise-grade connectors. These connectors provide versatility in connecting with various platforms and technologies, from HTTP/S and JDBC to Kafka, Salesforce, and SAP. The session also showcases Choreo, a robust Internal Developer Platform as a Service, demonstrating its utility in deploying and managing integrations.
