Join the Microservices with WebAssembly Meetup on 11/09
Enjoy free pizza and beverages while learning new skills
Wasm (WebAssembly) is the hottest new “container” runtime in the cloud-native world. It runs a wide variety of applications, including complete mini-applications that have their own HTTP servers, web service clients, and database backends (e.g., MySQL).
In the recent KubeCon (Oct 2022), Docker announced its support for building and running Wasm containers, based on the WasmEdge Runtime, side-by-side with Linux containers in Docker Desktop and Docker CLI tools. Other cloud leaders, including Microsoft, Cloudflare, Fastly, VMWare, and ByteDance, as well as startups such as Second State, Tetrate, Fermyon, Suborbital, and Cosmonic are also pursuing Wasm strategies. An especially interesting use case for Wasm is to isolate and run lightweight applications that require frequent scaling up and down. In other words, it is well suited for microservices, especially on the edge cloud and as serverless functions.
Is Wasm a revolutionary new technology that will take over the world? Or is it just another fad?
Come to this meetup to find out! Enjoy free pizza and beverages while engaging leading experts from Docker, ByteDance, Dapr, and WasmEdge. We will discuss development frameworks, tooling, and scalability of Wasm microservices.
