Cloud Native WASM: What's All the Hype?

Get ready to dive into the wild and wonderful world of Cloud Native WebAssembly (WASM) with Docker Captains Nigel Poulton and Bret Fisher!
These experienced professionals will take you on a journey through the history of WASM and how it was originally developed to improve the performance of web apps. But WASM's powers don't stop there. It's now being used on cloud platforms and is the go-to solution for creating super fast web apps. Plus, you'll learn about all the different languages that can be transformed into WASM binaries and how WASM can run apps on a server like a boss. Don't miss out on this action-packed talk on the hype-worthy capabilities of WASM!

ISA agnostic, smaller binaries, faster boot times. That’s impressive tech!

[@alexanderfitterling]

awesome talk

[@luiscarlosjayk]

My doubt is how this Docker containerd will provide the database, networking and usual capabilities in the wasm runtime? Since wasm components don't have those capabilities by their own, needs to be provided by the wasm host

With you

Another Java?

Sorry but WASM didn't made web application faster.

Depends on your use case. If your app is just a traditional SPA with just a bunch or API calls and regular displaying tables and forms etc. then it won't be. But if you have an application that requires a lot of client side calculations or rendering such as a game or even an app such as Figma (they use web assembly) it definitely improves your speed.
So it depends on the use case but yes generally it will not make the web much faster.
