Taking Service Mesh a Step Further with WebAssembly

Explore the integration of WebAssembly (WASM) with service meshes in this 30-minute conference talk by Christian Posta from Solo.io. Dive into the fundamentals of WASM as a binary instruction format for stack-based virtual machines, and discover its potential for customizing Envoy-based service meshes. Learn about the current state of WASM support in Envoy, and witness demonstrations of the developer experience in building, sharing, and deploying modules. Gain insights into various module types and their ability to modify sidecar proxy behavior. The talk covers challenges with service mesh, getting started with WebAssembly, a hands-on demo, building and deploying WebAssembly modules, and using AssemblyScript for development.
