Wasm, Kubernetes, Native, or What Else? An Enterprise Architecture Debrief
Talkat WasmCon 2023 · on Thursday, 2023-09-07· at 15:30· Grand Ballroom G, Hyatt Regency Bellevue, 900 Bellevue Way NE·
summary
Compares WebAssembly against Kubernetes, FaaS, micro‑VMs and eBPF by showing a concrete architecture: compile components to Wasm, publish via Wasm Cloud or run in-cluster using NATS topics and Cosmonic or a wadm/kubernetes.sh flow, then dynamically schedule by weighting CPU cost, cache hit rate, storage duplication and egress. Uses image-processing examples (30 MP and 300 MP images), procedural content generation and ML inference, reports a one‑second edge demo for building generation, and argues components plus the component model let code move to where the data lives.
