WASI and the Cloud: A Game-Changing Duo

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Claims a portable cloud ABI via wasi-cloud core 0.2 draft and demonstrates it with real builds: Go and Rust modules compiled with tinygo and wit-bindgen, componentized, and run on Wasmtime, jco (Node.js), and CNCF wasmCloud. A blob-store component swaps Azure Blob for a local filesystem provider without recompilation, streams images successfully, and scales on AKS. Several wasi-cloud interfaces (blob, messaging, config) are ready to implement; SQL is marked problematic and under redesign.
