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...)

To learn more about developing and managing microservices with Jali, visit our website.
