Cloud native application development has now become the norm. As a result, every developer is becoming a cloud native app developer. They are becoming masters of not only programming languages, but also distributed primitives/abstractions offered by containers, Kubernetes, and serverless frameworks. Effectively leveraging platforms such as Kubernetes can be a daunting task for developers due to many reasons, including managing hundreds of lines of YAML configuration. Programming languages, frameworks, and tools that abstract away the complexities faced by developers are on the rise. They are collectively called the languages of infrastructure. In this session, I will explore two such tools -- Pulumi and Ballerina. This deck explores how these languages of infrastructure hide the complexities of cloud-native platforms and boost developer productivity.

1. Code to Kubernetes:

2. In the old days...
We write a program, build it and then
just run that program.

3. Now...
We write it, build it and then have
various ways of running it;

4. However, those parts are not part of the
programming experience for the
developer.

6. Microservice Influence

7. Cloud Native Deployment

10. Infrastructure as Code

11. Pulumi
● Languages Supported
○ TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, and .NET
● Clouds and Infra
○ AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes
○ Alibaba Cloud, DigitalOcean, Linode, ...
○ Auth0, Consul, Okta, Vault, …
● Projects and Stacks
○ Projects organizes the code
○ Stacks define deployment environments - e.g. dev/staging/prod
● Programming Model
○ Defines a desirable state of your deployment programmatically
