Exotic Runtime Targets: Ruby and Wasm on Kubernetes and GitOps Delivery Pipelines

Explore the evolving landscape of runtime targets in this 15-minute conference talk by Kingdon Barrett from Weaveworks. Delve into the expanding choices developers face when selecting environments, moving beyond traditional considerations of language runtime, operating system, and architecture. Examine the impact of new operational factors such as Kubernetes, sandboxing, and browser targets on development decisions. Learn about WebAssembly (Wasm) as a portable compilation target and its potential to broaden language options for browser-based applications. Discover how Wasm enables familiar languages like Ruby and Python to target both browsers and servers. Consider the implications of these advancements for Kubernetes and GitOps delivery pipelines, and gain insights into the complexities of integrating these exotic runtime targets into modern development workflows.
