CNCF Welcomes WebAssembly-Based wasmCloud as a Sandbox ProjectCategory: Software, Database, Kubernetes
Cosmonic, the company behind the WebAssembly-based wasmCloud distributed application framework for microservices, has announced that the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has accepted wasmCloud as its latest Sandbox project. Liam Randall, founder of Cosmonic, said he believes WebAssembly (WASM) is the future of distributed computing:”WebAssembly is on the path to becoming as important and as ubiquitous in the enterprise as the container.” Launched in November, wasmCloud provides a secure-by-default, boilerplate-free developer environment that combines using cloud native technologies with WASM to build and deploy composable applications that plug into multicloud, multi-edge, and multi-browser environments, Randall added.
And in addition to the enhanced portability WebAssembly affords as well as the security of the WebAssembly sandbox, wasmCloud provides near-native performance and a smaller footprint for fast scaling time, he noted.
No longer do we let child applications have the same rights as their parents, we sort of give them very piecemeal access to things and WebAssembly lets you do that on servers, on desktops, on little, tiny devices and everywhere,” Randall said.
