Choosing Customizability and Distributing Dependencies with Wasm Components

Explore the revolutionary potential of WebAssembly (Wasm) components in this 33-minute conference talk by Taylor Thomas from Cosmonic. Delve into how the Wasm Component Model offers developers and platform engineers a path to create reusable interfaces and business logic without vendor lock-in or SDK dependencies. Learn how wasmCloud, a CNCF application platform, utilizes the component model to enable distributed code execution regardless of dependency location. Witness practical demonstrations of Wasm components running across different systems, the ease of adding custom interfaces, and the flexibility of execution without runtime modifications. Gain insights into open-source tools like wasi-virt and W3C standardized interfaces that support this new paradigm in application development and deployment.
