WebAssembly Landscape 2022

The technology landscape for Wasm is growing every day. Join me for a tour of WebAssembly, where we will analyze areas of rapid growth for Wasm to predict the future of application development. Wasm is finding a home in every layer of the technical stack. When it comes to creating plugins and adding extensibility to projects, Wasm is rapidly becoming the de facto solution with excellent support for multiple languages. Another trend is serverless where we are seeing Wasm revolutionize application development via actor and event-driven architectures. Looking towards the future, it’s not hard to imagine Wasm becoming the default runtime for the entire stack. Imagine applications compiled to Wasm, distributed and networked with a Wasm filter, admitted by a Wasm Open Policy Agent rule, versioned using a Wasm native package manager, Wasm clients that run on any device in the web or edge device, and the expressions used to operate on data are driven by Wasm.
