WASM in Production: Building the Missing Infrastructure Layer with Bacalhau
summary
Claims that Bacalhau can deploy the same WASM job across clouds edge and local with zero code or job changes, demonstrates a live run of ~30 simulated sensors sharding to US EU and Asia, shows region disconnect and automatic catch‑up, and runs a local Mac node that encrypts a private file so data never leaves the device. Shows computation moving to the data not vice versa, reports multi‑cloud integrations, a Kubernetes CRD and Docker/OCI executor, and measurable double‑digit percent cost savings.
