At the Pasadena leg of Kubernetes Community Days (co-located with SCaLE 20x), I had the chance to talk to 100 or so Kubernetes enthusiasts, to give my perspective on WebAssembly, through the lens of a Kubernetes veteran.

View All TagsEvolution of Wasm Standards: Building the Component Model for Wasm
There are several new standardization efforts happening within the WebAssembly (Wasm) space, including what we believe to be a new way to write software applications. By way of describing this new model, I would like to dive into some of the history of Wasm as a way to describe where we are heading.

Removing Application Vulnerabilities with wasmCloud Capabilities
An engineer begins her Monday, sitting down at her desk with a cup of coffee. She's feeling productive, inspired, and ready to write some good code. She opens her GitHub inbox to find 42 notifications on her projects, like this one:
⚠️ CRITICAL VULNERABILITY: Upgrade garbodep
from 1.1.12 to 1.1.13
"What's garbodep
? I don't even directly depend on that, why am I getting notified for this?" And
so, her day begins.

Running your UI on wasmCloud
One of the things we've run into as we've worked with customers and developed our own examples at
Cosmonic is the need to serve UIs that are consuming services you are running inside of wasmCloud.
Our own examples required you to either run the UI using npm
or to run a docker image. This felt
less than ideal and didn't fit with our vision of WebAssembly being the future of distributed
computing.
We just released a new version of the petclinic example that demonstrates how you can bundle up a UI for your application into a single actor. Now when you start the full petclinic example, the API and UI are served from the same place

We Love Web Assembly (outside the browser)
Hybrid meetup hosted by Stuart Harris, co-founder, Red Badger on Wed., March 2, part of a series called “Wheel of Tech”
Guest presenters from Cosmonic included Brooks Townsend, lead software engineer, and Taylor Thomas, engineering director. Also presenting was Kostya Babanakov, enterprise solutions engineer, SingleStore UK and EMEA.
This event focused on why the use of WebAssembly server-side represents a major revolution in platform design as we move beyond the cloud as a destination. Coupled with products like wasmCloud and NATS, WebAssembly is creating a whole new paradigm for cloud native and eliminating entire classes of problems in the process.
