Before I get into Ballerina, I want to explain the perspective from which I’m viewing this exploration. Lately, I’ve been suffering something that I can only describe as service fatigue. I’ve been suffering it so much that I’m contemplating writing another post on this ailment and how we can avoid it. The tl;dr of service fatigue is the exhaustion we feel after building service after service after service and repeating so much of what we do, either in terms of boilerplate or copy/paste or process, and the actual business logic is such a tiny portion of what many of us do. Service fatigue is like a repetitive motion injury for cloud native app developers.

And so one morning I was casually perusing Twitter, looking for someone to post a juicy bit of coding goodness, some morsel or scrap of tech knowledge that I can lap up that will tide me over until the next revelation. This is where Ballerina comes in.
