🤖 CNCF LFX Mentorship: From knowing nothing about cryptography to implementing wasi-crypto in WasmEdge
Author: sonder-joker WasmEdge is selected for GSoC 2022 through LFX Mentorship. Application open until 19th April, 2022. Come apply now. I'm a BSc software engineering student who likes open-source, software infrastructure, and challenging work. I applied for the WasmEdge CNCF LFX Mentorship Fall 2021 to support the WASI-Crypto proposal. The reason why I chose this project was that I wanted to participate in the development of an open-source project for some challenging work.…

How to Extend WebAssembly with Host Functions
By DarumaDocker,WasmEdge Contributor in charge of the development of WasmEdge-bindgen WebAssembly was developed for the browser. It gradually gain popularity on the server-side, but a significant disadvantage is its incomplete functionality and capability. The WASI proposal was initiated to solve these problems. But the forming and implementation of a standard is usually slow. What if you want to use a function urgently? The answer is to use the Host Function to customize your WebAssembly Runtime.…

eBPF and WebAssembly: whose VM reigns supreme?
The two hottest lightweight code execution sandboxes / VMs in the cloud-native world today are eBPF and WebAssembly. They both run high-performance bytecode programs compiled from C, C++, and Rust. The biggest difference, however, is that eBPF runs inside the Linux kernel while WebAssembly runs in the user space. eBPF has some programming restrictions that makes it safe for kernel use cases (eg no infinite loops). But that also means that eBPF is Turing incomplete.…

WasmEdge for Go Developers
Go developers can benefit from WebAssembly and WasmEdge Runtime in two important ways. You can compile Go programs to run in the WasmEdge container, or embed external functions, written in multiple programming languages, into Go applications as plug-ins. Get started by installing WasmEdge or using the WasmEdge development Docker. Embed WasmEdge in Go applications WasmEdge enables Go developers to embed functions and plug-ins written in different languages, including Rust, Swift, Kotlin, C/C++, JavaScript and TinyGo, into their Go applications.…

WasmEdge for JavaScript Developers
JavaScript developers can benefit from WebAssembly and WasmEdge Runtime in two important ways. You can run JavaScript programs in the WasmEdge container, or call external functions, written in multiple programming languages, from Node.js applications. Get started by installing WasmEdge or using the WasmEdge development Docker. Run JavaScript programs in WasmEdge WebAssembly is a ploygot runtime that supports many front-end programming languages. You can run JavaScript programs efficiently and safely across all OS and hardware platforms WasmEdge supports.…

Manage WebAssembly Apps Using Container and Kubernetes Tools
Developers can leverage container tools such as Kubernetes, Docker and CRI-O to deploy, manage, and run lightweight WebAssembly applications. In this article, we will demonstrate how Kubernetes ecosystem tools work with WasmEdge WebAssembly applications. Compared with Docker, WebAssembly could be 100x faster at startup, have a much smaller memory and disk footprint, and have a better-defined safety sandbox. However, the trade-off is that WebAssembly requires its own language SDKs, and compiler toolchains, making it a more constrained developer environment than Docker.…

Rust and WebAssembly Serverless functions in Vercel
Vercel is a leading platform for developing and hosting Jamstack applications. Unlike traditional web apps, where the UI is dynamically generated at runtime from a server, a Jamstack application consists of a static UI (in HTML and JavaScript) and a set of serverless functions to support dynamic UI elements via JavaScript. There are many benefits to the Jamstack approach. But perhaps one of the most significant benefits is performance. Since the UI is no longer generated at runtime from a central server, there is much less load on the server and we can now deploy the UI via edge networks such as CDNs.…
