Level: Introductory

Extended Abstract:
WebAssembly (WASM) is transforming application deployment and execution in cloud environments, offering a lightweight and portable solution that enhances performance and security. In this session, we will explore the potential of WASM in Kubernetes, emphasizing its ability to improve interoperability and streamline microservices architecture.

We will take a closer look at a small terminal and web-based chat application entirely built and deployed using WASM and the WebAssembly System Interface. Through this example, I will share my learnings from hands-on experimentation. We will discuss practical use cases, the benefits of using WASM for cloud-native applications, and the challenges encountered during implementation.

Join me to discover how WASM can empower your cloud strategy and unlock new possibilities for your applications, all while showcasing a real-world application that highlights its capabilities.
