On September 18, we held the first wasmCloud Innovation Day—an all-day virtual event bringing together project maintainers, enterprise users, members of the broader WebAssembly community, and folks interested in learning more about Wasm and wasmCloud.

Operating in the manufacturing sector has never been more costly. Exacerbated by high inflation, the cost of materials, fuel, shipping and labor have risen exponentially post-pandemic. In response, manufacturers are looking for ways to reduce maintenance costs, and improve production capacity. They’re doing this by putting advanced data analytics into production lines to better understand and optimize machine performance.

WebAssembly (Wasm) components are here and already unlocking new computing patterns. Meanwhile, CNCF's wasmCloud offers Wasm-native orchestration for distributed components—in essence, a Kubernetes for WebAssembly.

Earlier this year we shared how a group of international CSPs (communication service providers) and their partners brought Wasm to telecoms. WebAssembly Canvas Phase I a TM Forum Catalyst Project, was an early PoC that evaluated whether wasmCloud, a CNCF sandbox project, could be a credible alternative to Kubernetes in managing TM Forum's estate of open APIs. Referred to as Open Digital Architecture (ODA) components, these open APIs are currently managed and maintained in ODA Canvas, an ODA repository built on Kubernetes.
Cloud Native Wasm Day (co-located with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU, 2024) is always a great event but this year was a little different. In 2024, discussions are turning from theory towards working with Wasm in practice, with companies in a variety of sectors sharing their experiences.
What's particularly exciting for us, as CNCF wasmCloud maintainers, is how quickly wasmCloud is being adopted. So many of this year's talks come from companies already working with wasmCloud---many in production. We've summarized all the talks from this year's event and recommend paying particular attention to presentations from wasmCloud community users Orange and Machine Metrics.
We’re excited to see our friends again as we embark on a whistle-stop tour of two of our favorite European events (and cities) in the 2024 conference calendar: WASM I/O, Barcelona and KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024, Paris. With the release of WASI 0.2 and the WebAssembly component model, we’re taking wasmCloud 1.0 on tour—introducing it to cloud native developers, and platform engineers, as the best place to bring components to life in production environments.
Cloud Native Wasm day is a twice-a-year highlight for all of us at Cosmonic. As the years go on Wasm Day continues to evolve from development progress to practical applications and impressive use of the technology. Today we saw a significant focus on security, especially isolation, high performance Wasm use cases, and an emphasis on the flexibility of the technology itself.
Just a few days until we get together again with our cloud native peers and friends. KubeCon + CloudNativeCon starts next week and we couldn't be more excited. Don't forget to visit us at the Cosmonic booth M21 and stop by the CNCF wasmCloud booth in the Projects Pavilion. We're looking forward to seeing everyone!
You've heard of the Grinch and the Cat in the Hat
But what about Wasm, did you hear about that?
Dive into this poem, take a quick look
The story of Wasm, in this neat little book
After a week spent in the company of WebAssembly (Wasm) experts and enthusiasts, we've come away from the Linux Foundation's inaugural WasmCon with one conclusion - WebAssembly is capturing developer imagination in all sorts of industries. As the Bytecode Alliance and W3C Wasm Working Group release the latest stable iteration of Wasm standards - WASI-preview 2.
