This talk will introduce you to the WebAssembly component model.

WebAssembly is a platform neutral compilation target. With the component model, the interface between your platform and software is no longer tied to operating systems, and processing architectures, but can include a much higher-level abstraction, e.g., an HTTP request/response platform.

This is not too different from working with a platform like AWS Lambda, but because of WebAssembly components, you get to choose freely between the programming language you want to use. This is one of many use-cases WebAssembly components will give you, as a software developer, or platform provider.

The objective of this session is for the attendee to understand how the component model works, and what benefits it gives developers.
