What happens when you take the portability, security, speed, and polyglot nature of WebAssembly, and run it on a server, where you’d usually have containers? We live in exciting times! Together we’ll begin to explore how server-side WebAssembly runtimes are shaping up as viable alternatives to containers, and where their applications can thrive. We’ll also look at additional benefits of freeing up developer focus by abstracting away complicated network concerns in favour of functional, compact modules. WebAssembly is bringing lots of simplifications to server-side software development. Let’s see how
