Exploring WebAssembly in Cloud Environments: From Metal to Web

Explore the evolution of WebAssembly (WASM) from browser-based technology to cloud environments in this 38-minute GoLab conference talk. Discover how WASM's system interface (WASI) enables server-side applications, cloud-native development, and integration with container ecosystems. Learn about WASM's potential advantages over containers, its implementation in Docker, container runtimes, and Go, and its possible future in Kubernetes. Gain insights into WASI capabilities, limitations, compiling Go code to WASM, and consuming WASM modules in Go applications. Examine the benefits of WASM in cloud environments and its use in Kubernetes. Walk away with a head start on combining WASM with Go and Kubernetes, and gain a fresh perspective on the future of software portability and delivery.
