This is a useful article even if you have no intention of installing and using Ballerina, which is a programming language designed to make it easy for developers to build server application programming interfaces (API). It's useful because it covers the full scope of API development and deployment, and thus provides an overview of all the moving parts in a typical service oriented website (which includes everything from an online store to an LMS). From an implementation perspective, the reason you'd use a product like Ballerina is to allow it to handle a lot of the API overhead, including authentication, logging, tracing and security.
