By enabling cloud native back ends to run on operational edges, Wasm allows us to deploy business logic closer to users or data, even to places Kubernetes and containers can't go.

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.
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.
This blog post summarizes our KubeCon EU 2021 Keynote - Cloud Native & WebAssembly: Better Together.
In this blog post and the accompanying video, we will share the story of the rise of WebAssembly. We will give you a high-level overview of what WebAssembly is all about, why you should care, and how Cloud Native and WebAssembly are better together.
