Wasm NA February 2023 Meetup - Matt Butcher and Tom Ballinger

SPEAKERS

- Matt Butcher (Fermyon): Writing Serverless Functions with Spin

- Tom Ballinger (Convex): WebAssembly Bytecode from Scratch (and so can you!)

TOPICS

Matt will be speaking on "Writing Serverless Functions with Spin"

With its security sandbox, fast startup times, and broad language support, WebAssembly makes a great cloud computing runtime. And serverless functions (like Lambda) are a great candidate for Wasm. In this talk, I’ll start by looking at the cloud compute ecosystem. I’ll talk about the strenghts and weaknesses of VMs and containers, as well as the problems faced by the first generation of serverless. Then I’ll talk about the open source Spin tool and how it simplifies the process of writing serverless functions. We’ll finish by building, testing, and deploying a Spin app.

Tom will be speaking on "WebAssembly Bytecode from Scratch (and so can you!)"

WebAssembly allows us to write logic in many languages, including my favorite language, WebAssembly bytecode. Don't yet have LEB128, ASCII, and all the WASM sections memorized? Don't worry, we'll learn the mnemonics together. Programming should be accessible to all, so it's good to eschew fancy tools like integrated development environments compilers and write code the way it was meant to be written, in hexadecimal.
