David Flanagan - The Future of Serverless is WebAssembly

WebAssembly is reshaping and delivering a new wave of cloud computing. WASI Preview 2 brings server-side applications to the forefront of serverless with a component model that provides networking, files, and more; paired with an invocation time that is measured in nanoseconds instead of milliseconds. The growing support for WASM and WASI means we can write services in TypeScript, Rust, Go, Zig, and many more languages which can seamlessly inter-opt with each other over common APIs. In this session, we'll explore the leading toolchains for building and shipping WASM + WASI stateful serverless functions to the edge. Let's dive in.
