summary
Bartholomew is a CMS written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, using Markdown + TOML for content, Rye for scripting and Handlebars for templates; it runs as a set of small Wasm microservices on Wagi then migrated to Spin, and can mount file‑server and redirect modules separately. It launches Feb 8 and reports zero Wasm downtime, survives spikes (≈2,000 concurrent requests on three t2.small instances, CPU <70%, memory ~40%), scores 99 PageSpeed and averages ~53 ms; a tinygo Spin handler handles 300k requests in 10s (~153 µs).
