GitOps for the Edge: Delivering WebAssembly with Argo CD
summary
Demonstrates using Argo CD to deploy wasmCloud applications as OAM CRDs, with a Rust operator translating Argo syncs into wasmCloud lattice commands. Shows a real app composed of three WebAssembly components (HTTP server, actor, metadata), deployed to 30+ Edge hosts on fly.io, and the live demo serves pages from different regions. Explains operator implementation choices (Rust, kube-rs, aggregated API server) and confirms the workflow works end-to-end.
