WebAssembly as a cloud-native runtime for serverless functions
summary
Claim: WebAssembly runs serverless functions far faster and lighter than VM or container approaches, with Second State's runtime SSVM showing about 1000x faster startup than Docker containers in published benchmarks. The stack uses the system interface WASI, OCI images and Kubernetes for deployment, supports Rust serverless functions, TensorFlow inference and edge/IoT targets, and demonstrations and a peer‑reviewed paper report near‑native CPU performance and workable SaaS hook examples that eliminate external callback servers.
