Initially created as a high-performance application runtime for web browsers, WebAssembly is now used in a wide range of applications outside of the browser, including cloud-native, edge computing, SaaS, and blockchain apps. For application developers, WebAssembly provides a high-performance, lightweight, polyglot, portable, and secure runtime sandbox that can be embedded into almost any application to run “serverless” functions from 3rd parties. In this talk, Michael Yuan will give a technical introduction to the WasmEdge Runtime project. Specific topics Michael will cover include why and how WebAssembly is used in cloud-native and edge computing projects, how is WasmEdge differentiated from other WebAssembly runtimes, and how to write WasmEdge applications to extend your own software products.
Dr. Michael Yuan is a maintainer of WasmEdge Runtime (a project under CNCF) and a co-founder of Second State. He is the author of 5 books on software engineering published by Addison-Wesley, Prentice-Hall, and O'Reilly. Michael is a long-time open-source developer and contributor... Read More →
