WasmCloud makes strides with WASM component model


Open source projects such as wasmCloud advanced this year thanks to the Wasm component model, but significant items are still on the roadmap.

A milestone update for server-side WebAssembly earlier this year has broadened its adoption among enterprises and advanced related open source projects, though it remains a bleeding-edge technology for most companies. "The WebAssembly component model enables us to do that, along with providing some additional features like composition and reuse," said Ritesh Rai, a staff engineer at the credit card issuer based in New York City, during a presentation at the WasmCon colocated event at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America on Nov. 11. "Once we have streams that are bidirectional, it'll be a lot easier to implement web crypto[graphy]," said Colin Murphy, a senior software engineer at Adobe, in an interview with TechTarget Editorial during KubeCon.
