This mantra continues to hold true for the promise of https://thenewstack.io/is-webassembly-really-the-future/ (WASM) — but the keyword is “promise” since we are not there yet, especially for edge applications, or at least not completely. And yet, much work needs to be done as far as getting to the stage where applications can reach the edge.

Indeed, the developer might want to design one app deployed through a WebAssembly module that will be distributed across a wide variety of edge devices.

An organization might want to deploy WASM modules through a Kubernetes cluster to deploy and manage applications on edge devices.

With standardization, the Wasi layers should eventually be able to run all different Wasm modules into components on any and all edge devices with a CPU.
