Taking WebAssembly for a Spin
summary
Explains how WebAssembly becomes server-side microservices using Spin: compile Rust/Go/etc. to .wasm, package with Bindle, run behind a host that handles HTTP and Redis, deploy via Fermyon platform (scheduling on Nomad). Cites concrete numbers from the demo: 119 feeds, 103 modules spun up as buttons trigger fast short-lived modules. Notes WASI limits (no native networking or threads yet), highlights portability across ARM/AMD and start in microseconds for scale-to-zero and deny-all memory security.
