From Cloud to Edge computing - Unleashing the power of WebAssembly at the edge

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Shows concrete Python+WASM engineering: uses Pyodide, wasmtime-py, componentize tooling and a private registry to build, test and push WASM components that run across 80–100 edge locations. Python components bundle an interpreter so artifacts land in the tens of megabytes while Rust/C/Go are hundreds of kilobytes. Production proxy is Rust to hit p99 < 5 ms extra latency. The registry, local dev tooling and sandboxed execution are built and deployed and are already running real analytics workloads.
