Si Vis Pacem, Adde Rete -- If You Want Peace, Add a Mesh!

" summary

Shows how to run wasmCloud v2 RC3 workloads (TypeScript -> WebAssembly via JCO + Starling Monkey) behind Linkerd and what actually happens in production: a meshed host group gives observability via the Linkerd viz dashboard, one meshed host can serve many tiny components, and the demo exercises an MCP pet‑store server calling an external REST API. Known gotchas: NATS must be marked opaque or Linkerd stalls on server‑first traffic, and currently a host group shares a single identity. Demo mostly works but conference network flakiness breaks live steps.
