Deploying Your Backend Like a CDN With WebAssembly

Explore how WebAssembly (Wasm) revolutionizes backend deployment in this conference talk. Discover how cloud-native backends can be distributed and run with the same ease as displaying static assets to frontend users. Learn about wasmCloud, the CNCF application runtime, and its combination of Wasm's security and performance with NATS' distributed network to create a robust backend CDN. Gain insights into platform-agnostic binary formats that enable polyglot backends to run in the cloud, on the edge, and even in web browser tabs. Through engaging demos, understand how this technology drastically improves performance, availability, and reliability of backend infrastructure, mirroring the benefits of traditional CDNs for frontends.
