wasmCloud

wasmCloud is a Free open-source CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) platform that allows you to build and deploy applications with Wasm (WebAssembly). wasmCloud hosts can be deployed on/in bare metal, laptops, VMs, containers, Raspberry Pis, in Nomad clusters, in Kubernetes clusters, and many other environments. It is designed to work seamlessly with popular tools and platforms such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Jenkins.

wasmCloud Focus

While wasmCloud itself is free to use, operational costs will depend on the cloud services and resources used for deployment. The platform emphasizes cost efficiency by enabling dynamic scaling and resource allocation, which can help reduce unnecessary infrastructure expenses. Users only pay for the cloud resources consumed during application execution, aligning with typical serverless pricing models where costs are based on usage rather than fixed subscriptions. The platform offers:

• Portability: a vendor-neutral environment that enables developers to build applications without being locked into specific cloud providers or technologies.
• Scalability and Fault-Tolerance: dynamic scaling with zero cold starts, ensuring sub-millisecond start times for applications and efficient handling of workloads
• Centralized Management: maintaining thousands of diverse applications centrally using reusable, version-controlled Wasm components.

wasmCloud Key Features

• Polyglot: wasmCloud supports building and running components written in any language that can target WebAssembly. Languages with the best experience today include Rust, Go, Python, and JavaScript.
• Faster Development Cycles: reusable Wasm components enable quicker application development and deployment cycles.
• Scalability and Resilience: The platform supports automatic scaling and fault tolerance, ensuring that applications can handle varying loads efficiently while maintaining reliability.
