WebAssembly as a Cloud-Native Runtime for Serverless Functions

Explore the potential of WebAssembly as a lightweight cloud-native runtime for serverless functions in this conference talk by Michael Yuan from Second State. Discover how Wasm VM offers advantages over traditional hypervisor VMs and containers for running serverless functions, enabling deployment on edge devices, IoT, SaaS platforms, and legacy systems. Learn to create function-as-a-service applications using Node.js and WebAssembly, and gain insights into how public clouds like Tencent Cloud leverage Wasm in serverless environments. Understand the process of deploying and managing Wasm VMs using Kubernetes and cloud-native tools. Get hands-on experience in creating and deploying high-performance serverless functions using Rust, and explore the benefits of WebAssembly for developers seeking efficient and versatile serverless solutions.
