If you’ve been following anything in the Cloud Native space right now, chances are that you’ve heard of WebAssembly (Wasm). As someone who works at a Wasm company, it should come as no surprise that I think Wasm is the future of software development. But, let’s be honest, you probably aren’t going to just dismiss Kubernetes and go all-in on the first Wasm-related project you find.

At Cosmonic, we’ve always believed it important that Wasm and wasmCloud (the soon-to-be incubating CNCF project we contribute to and help maintain) are compatible with, but not dependent on any pre-existing technology. Guided by that principle, we have long provided integrations with Kubernetes, as most people operating in the cloud native ecosystem are running in or integrated with it. What has been interesting to see is how people are choosing to integrate with it. This post outlines a couple of ways to integrate Wasm with Kubernetes, and it gives a clue as to why we’ve designed our platform to integrate with Kubernetes the way it does. With that in mind, let’s dive in!

There is a special kind of pride that comes from the exhaustion at the end of a hard day's work. Whether we spend our days laying bricks, pouring concrete, mowing lawns, cooking hamburgers, or smashing rocks; our exhaustion is proof that we've done work. The well-earned rest after all that work feels good.

What if our goal wasn't just to smash rocks, but instead to find some tiny nugget of value inside just a small fraction of the rocks? With that goal in mind, does it still make sense to spend our days smashing every rock we see with a hammer, or is there a better, more focused approach?
