The Future of Serverless is WebAssembly
summary
Claims that WebAssembly with WASI Preview 2 delivers server-side invocation times measured in 1–5 ns, supports TypeScript Rust Go Zig interop, and runs stateful serverless functions at the edge. Demonstrations use the Spin framework to build polyglot HTTP components, KV and SQLite-backed state, cron and trigger wiring, and LLM calls, show modular OCI shipping and Kubernetes deployment, and report working demos rather than vague examples.
