Cloud Native Apps with Server-Side WebAssembly

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Server-side WebAssembly compiles one binary that runs on Kubernetes, on a laptop, and across AWS and GCP with live failover demonstrated: the same Wasm module routes via NATS and hot‑swaps capabilities with wasmCloud and Envoy, using Elixir hosts and Krustlet for edge execution. Claims: portable across CPU/OS/browser boundaries, capability-driven, deny‑by‑default security model. Demo shows multi‑cloud failover with no code changes, argues major savings by shifting nonfunctional plumbing out of app code, and cites ~50 billion devices by 2030 as the portability driver.
