Create and Deploy a Lightweight Microservice in WebAssembly

Learn how to create and deploy lightweight microservices using WebAssembly in this hands-on tutorial. Explore the basics and architecture of Wasm-based microservices as an alternative to traditional VMs and Linux containers. Discover how Wasm containers can be up to 99% smaller than comparable Linux containers, offering instant start and stop capabilities for zero-cost scalability. Create database-backed and event-driven microservices in both Rust and JavaScript, and enhance them with AI inference features using PyTorch and rich web services like Dapr. Gain practical experience running these microservices in the WasmEdge Runtime and deploying Wasm containers using Docker and Kubernetes tools. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have the skills to leverage WebAssembly for efficient and scalable microservice development and deployment.
