WebAssembly in Production: Building a Platform with Wasm and wasmCloud - Lessons from Cosmonic

Explore a comprehensive conference talk on WebAssembly (Wasm) in production, focusing on Cosmonic's experience building their platform using Wasm and wasmCloud. Gain insights into the practical applications of Wasm, including databases, message queues, event sourcing, key-value stores, infrastructure provisioning, tracing, metrics, and security controls. Discover the pros and cons of using Wasm, identify existing gaps, and learn valuable lessons from Cosmonic's implementation. Understand how this real-world experience has influenced the Wasm community and get an in-depth look at the technical aspects of modern computing environments, wasmCloud application runtime, and the Lattice Network. Delve into topics such as debugging with tracing, speed and scale considerations, event sourcing, reactive programming, and defense-in-depth strategies. Gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and benefits of working with cutting-edge technology in a production environment.
