Server-Side WebAssembly, Video Edition

Server-Side WebAssembly shows you how to harness the power of Wasm on the application back-end. By following the numerous practical examples and crystal-clear explanations, you'll soon be seeing the benefits of reduced cold start times, improved security and performance, and the freedom of polyglot programming.
Inside Server-Side WebAssembly you'll learn how to
Develop and deploy server-side Wasm applications
Create and manage Wasm containers with OCI
Compile Wasm components from multiple languages
Scale Wasm applications using Kubernetes
Deploy Wasm applications across different environments
Integrate with databases and machine learning
Server-Side WebAssembly lays out everything you need to take WebAssembly beyond its traditional browser domain. You'll put on the hats of a systems architect, a backend developer, and even a DevOps engineer to get a full picture of WebAssembly development from both an architecture and development perspective.
About the Technology
WebAssembly (Wasm) revolutionized frontend development by enabling secure, high-performance code in the browser. Now it's doing the same for backend infrastructure as a platform for lightweight, portable applications that run anywhere. In this book, you'll learn how to build production-grade server-side apps using Wasm.
About the Book
Server-Side WebAssembly teaches you to use WebAssembly components and the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) to build web back ends. You'll start with Wasm fundamentals and then quickly start building a realistic content management system complete with data storage, HTTP servers, and AI-generated content. As you go, you'll see how Wasm integrates code from multiple languages and connects naturally with databases, AI/ML systems, and deployment platforms like Kubernetes.
What's Inside
Integrate components from multiple languages
Deploy Wasm applications on Kubernetes
Connect Wasm apps to databases and ML systems
About the Reader
