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!
In a little over a week, two exciting new events in the WebAssembly (Wasm) calendar will kick off in Seattle. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone at the The Linux Foundation's inaugural WasmCon, and the Bytecode Alliance’s Componentize the World Hackathon. Both events are being held close to one another – WasmCon in Bellevue, WA on September 6 - 7, and the ‘Componentize the World’ hackathon on Friday September 8th in Redmond, WA.
Collaboration, community, and diversity are the keys to technological innovation. This is why we are thrilled to announce that Cosmonic is involved in two adjacent events, set to revolutionize the WebAssembly (Wasm) landscape: The Linux Foundation's WasmCon and the Bytecode Alliance's WebAssembly Hackathon. Both events are being held near each other - WasmCon in Bellevue, WA on September 6 and 7, and “Componentize the World” on Friday September 8th in Redmond, WA.
Cosmonic will be there – and you should be, too.
Over the last 20 years, we have made huge strides in abstracting common complexities from the lives of developers. Wave after wave of innovation has driven the technology cycle. Enterprises have organized and executed around raising the delivery abstraction targeted by their developers. With each wave, we have simplified the effort, reduced the time to deliver and hastened the pace of innovation.
There is nothing more chaotic today than the current state of cybersecurity.
In my latest article in The New Stack, “How Web Assembly Can Mitigate the Software Supply Chain Crisis,” I discussed the relative ease with which today’s predominant method for building software allows for malware infection across all components of an application.
Until now, the method for building software relied on the aggregation of software components that often lack distinct security boundaries between them.
During Cloud Native Wasm Day, Adobe’s Colin Murphy talked about how Adobe is using WebAssembly within its flagship web browser-based products Photoshop, Lightroom and Acrobat. He also explored potential Wasm use cases for edge compute and in the data center with wasmCloud.
During WasmDay and KubeCon EU, a handful of cloud native developers demonstrated how they’re using WebAssembly and wasmCloud to simplify distributed application development and dramatically reduce their costs.
In his Lightning Talk, “wasmCloud and Bevy ECS: Solution to Woe of Indie Game Developers” Alan, Poon Yong Quan demonstrated how he’s using wasmCloud and Bevy ECS, a data-driven game engine built in Rust, to lower cloud platform costs for multi-player games.
WebAssembly is poised to fundamentally transform the development of both browser and server-side development.
The virtualization of the CPU, OS, and the cloud with hypervisors, containers, and Kubernetes each marked epochs of technology that ushered in emerging trends in software architecture, design, development, operation, and life cycle management.
Imagine rapid development of platform-agnostic multi-cloud, multi-edge and far-edge platforms that run at near native speeds anywhere, at any scale. Fast, secure-by-default, distributed application development that eliminates entire classes of security and portability challenges at significant cost savings.
That’s the power and possibility of Cloud Native technologies and WebAssembly, a Better Together story that will take center stage in Valencia on the eve of KubeCon EU 2022.
