#ICYDK: Introduction
Integration is about connecting services together for communication, execution, monitoring, and operations. Initially, the monolithic three-tier architecture was followed and then to solve the issue of spaghetti dilemma, Service Oriented Architecture came into play. But when all of this started to look heavy and highly coupled, the integration world started to move towards latest, cloud-based, micro-services architecture.
Ballerina comes into action as a cloud-native programming language specifically providing integration solutions by making easier to write micro-services along with providing desirable support to integrate APIs. In-depth details on Ballerina from its philosophy to architecture can be found at ballerina.io. All the required instructions on setting up Ballerina, samples and guides can be found in the link. Go through the few samples given and understand and familiarize Ballerina by running those examples. https://goo.gl/ruhfj5 #DataIntegration #ML
