From Sensors to Servers: Efficient Edge Computing with Akri and WebAssembly

Learn how to efficiently process data from IoT devices at the edge in this technical conference talk. Explore the integration of Akri and SpinKube open source projects with Kubernetes clusters for seamless IoT device management. Discover how Akri automates device discovery and Pod deployment for data consumption, while SpinKube enables running serverless WebAssembly applications as Pods. Understand the advantages of WebAssembly's small binary sizes and rapid startup times for edge computing scenarios. Watch a practical demonstration of discovering MQTT-based devices using Akri and deploying event-driven WebAssembly applications that respond to MQTT messages, optimizing resource usage at the edge. Master the tools and techniques needed to implement efficient data processing applications in edge computing environments.
