+# Apache OpenWhisk Runtime for Ballerina
+[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache--2.0-blue.svg)](http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/mpmunasinghe/incubator-openwhisk-runtime-ballerina.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/mpmunasinghe/openwhisk-runtime-ballerina)
+
+This repository contains the [Ballerina](https://ballerinalang.org) runtime for the Apache OpenWhisk serverless platform.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+The following prerequisites are needed to try this out:
+
+- [Ballerina](https://ballerina.io/downloads/) >= 0.975.0
+
+### Creating a Ballerina function
+
+Create a file `hello.bal` for your Ballerina function with the following code:
+
+```ballerina
+import ballerina/io;
+function main(string... args) {
+  io:println("started");
+}
+function run(json jsonInput) returns json {
+  io:println(jsonInput);
+  json output = { "response": "hello-world"};
+  return output;
+}
+```
+
+The Ballerina file should include:
+ - `main(string... args)` and
+ - `run(json jsonInput)`.
+
+The first is necessary to compile the function but does not execute when you
+invoke the action.
+
+### Compiling your function
+
+Run the [Ballerina](https://ballerina.io/downloads) compiler to
+build your function.
+```bash
+ballerina build hello.bal
+```
+
+This generates an executable `hello.balx`. You will use this binary to create
+the OpenWhisk action.
+
+### Creating and invoking your Ballerina action
+
+Use the OpenWhisk [`wsk` CLI](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/master/docs/cli.md)
+to create your Ballerina action.
+
+```bash
+wsk action create hello hello.balx --docker mpmunasinghe/balaction
+```
+
+Now you're ready to invoke the action:
+
+```bash
+wsk action invoke hello --result
+```
+```json
+{
+  "response": "hello-world"
+}
+```
+
+You can learn more about working with OpenWhisk Actions [here](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/master/docs/actions.md).
+
+### Developing the Ballerina runtime for OpenWhisk
+
+To build the Ballerina runtime, you need an OpenWhisk snapshot release which
+you can install as follows:
+```bash
+pushd $OPENWHISK_HOME
+./gradlew install
+podd $OPENWHISK_HOME
+```
+where `$OPENWHISK_HOME` is an environment variable that points to your
+OpenWhisk directory.
+
+The Ballerina runtime is built with the Gradle wrapper `gradlew`.
+```bash
+./gradlew distDocker
+```
+
+You can also use `gradlew` to run all the unit tests.
+```bash
+./gradlew :tests:test
+```
+
+Or to run a specific test.
+```bash
+./gradlew :tests:test --tests *ActionContainerTests*
+```
+
+This project can be imported into [IntelliJ](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/)
+for development and testing. Import the project as a Gradle project, and make
+sure your working directory is the root directory for this repository.

+ * - dockerRegistry (optional): The registry to push to
+ * - dockerImageTag (optional, default 'latest'): The tag for the image
+ * - dockerImagePrefix (optional, default 'whisk'): The prefix for the image,
+ *       'controller' becomes 'whisk/controller' per default
+ * - dockerTimeout (optional, default 840): Timeout for docker operations in seconds
+ * - dockerRetries (optional, default 3): How many times to retry docker operations
+ * - dockerBinary (optional, default 'docker'): The binary to execute docker commands
+ * - dockerBuildArgs (options, default ''): Project specific custom docker build arguments
+ * - dockerHost (optional): The docker host to run commands on, default behaviour is
