Explore the expanding capabilities of WebAssembly (Wasm) beyond web browsers in this 38-minute conference talk from Voxxed Days Thessaloniki 2023. Discover how the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) enables Wasm to run server-side applications, edge computing, and cloud microservices. Learn about Docker's recent support for Wasm as a lightweight alternative to traditional containers. Gain insights into Wasm's basic terminology, current state as a server-side technology, and its potential to revolutionize containerization. Examine practical examples and tools for working with Wasm on the server side, and consider whether it might eventually replace traditional containers in certain scenarios.
