From Cloud to Edge computing - Unleashing the power of WebAssembly at the edge

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Claim: replace heavy client SDKs by running WebAssembly at the edge to cut blocking time and centralize integrations. Uses an open-source Rust proxy atop Wasmtime, a hotloaded Wasm runtime on AWS Lambda near Fastly nodes, with ~20–25 components now and a 100+ roadmap. Components are sandboxed with no network access, compiled ones are hundreds of KB versus ~30 MB Python, events appear in ~1–2 seconds, and a tiny 8–9 KB browser SDK talks to the Edgy component registry.
