Going Containerless with WebAssembly

Explore the future of distributed computing with WebAssembly in this 34-minute conference talk by Kevin Hoffman from Capital One. Learn about WebAssembly's functionality outside the browser and its relevance to cloud computing. Discover how building functions and services in WebAssembly can offer improved ease, speed, and security compared to traditional methods. Watch demonstrations of low-level, RPC-style communication between runtime hosts and guest modules, and examine a Rust-written host runtime that dynamically binds zero-trust WebAssembly functions with high-privilege capability plugins. Gain insights into the potential of WebAssembly for creating more efficient and secure distributed systems.
