Why WebAssembly Is Perfect for Tiny IoT Devices
This post is part of a series that provides a preview of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023, which will be held April 18-21 in Amsterdam. These devices come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, from massive industrial machines to tiny sensors.
First, let’s look at the challenges of running a traditional operating system on tiny IoT devices.
Various RTOS (Real Time Operating Systems) exist for tiny IoT devices — some examples include FreeRTOS, ThreadX, and NuttX. As such, we cannot use Linux containers (aka Docker) as a unit of isolation on these tiny IoT devices.
