Serverless is defined as an event-handler software pattern, distinct from the evolution of cloud infrastructure from virtual machines to containers.
Current serverless platforms suffer from slow cold start times, operating system dependencies, and a complex developer experience.
WebAssembly was created for the browser as a secure, portable, fast, and language-agnostic bytecode format to complement JavaScript.
Examples like Java and Ruby show that a technology's most successful application can be far different from its original design intent.
WebAssembly's core features of security, portability, and speed make it an ideal runtime for a new generation of serverless computing, drastically reducing cold start times.
Spin is an open-source developer tool that simplifies creating, building, and deploying serverless applications compiled to WebAssembly.
The architecture of a simple web game reveals how hundreds of individual WebAssembly functions can execute per session, showcasing its high performance and low overhead.
The WebAssembly ecosystem aims to improve the serverless developer experience by streamlining common tasks like configuring key-value stores and databases.
