Bring Your Own Bytecode to the Logging Party
summary
A browser-based WASM pipeline and tester that plugs into Kubernetes via Logging Operator + log-socket, streaming real nginx access logs over WebSocket and running compiled modules (TinyGo, AssemblyScript, Rust) against live data. Demonstrates a reversible string plugin, an nginx parser, an emoji-status transformer and round-trip deploy to the backend, all working in the demo. Notes limits: JSON and regex support vary by language, runtimes generate extra imports/exports, and full WASM support is best in Rust. Roadmap adds backend execution, plugin monitoring, versioning and stateful/stream processing.
