Introduction

Jali is

• specification-driven permitting consumer driven contracts and multi-version management
• serverless so you can write just your routines and run using any and all configurable platforms
• where the microservice is the unit of development, delivery and management
• a full multitenant, partitionable DevOps platform because modern microservice delivery is continuous
• an extensible, polyglot framework providing circuit breaking and self-documenting APIs and explicit routine services
• an infrastructure pluggable for many major microservice platforms (eventually...)
