Ballerina Observability

Observability is a measure of how well internal states of a system can be inferred from knowledge of its external outputs. Monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing are key methods that reveal the internal state of the system to provide the observability. Ballerina becomes fully observable by exposing itself via these three methods to various external systems allowing to monitor metrics such as request count and response time statistics, analyze logs, and perform distributed tracing.

About Ballerina

Networked Type System

A type system that embraces network payload variability with primitive, object, union, and tuple types.

Concurrency
