Answering the call: taking WASM seriously by Steve Manuel @ Wasm I/O 2023

Conference: Wasm I/O 2023

Year: 2023

Wasm I/O 2023 / 23-24 March, Barcelona So, what does it mean to have maturity in software and systems? I will talk about the end-to-end WASM software lifecycle, from writing and compiling code & debugging pre-production errors, all the way to deploying systems with WASM and observability of production systems. What to do when WASM in production fails? How do you debug issues in code you don’t have the source of? How can we prevent these kinds of common issues from even happening in the first place? I will also talk about what it means to be a team of SREs, Ops, Engineers, etc. who are now tasked with maintenance of a system that has an embedded runtime or otherwise executes WASM code. This operational mode is more like being an “operating system” compared to an “application”, and how we all need to think like the teams at AWS/GCP/Azure whose services run our applications. Dylibso is building the operational tools for teams taking WASM into production, and I will showcase a couple of these products which address CI, security, quality, and resource management. I will announce our founding team as well as funding, open source projects, along with what the future holds for taking WASM seriously and bringing a level of maturity to the ecosystem that we are all looking for.
