Develop Wasm Applications with Docker - Angel M De Miguel Meana, VMware & Justin Cormack, Docker
Developers love containers and use them in a variety of situations and setups. Among other innovations, Docker (the tool) introduced a great developer experience for building, publishing, and running containers. It suddenly became easier to run complex applications in heterogeneous environments, including your laptop! WebAssembly (Wasm) is a compact binary format for compiling code to a portable target. This compiled binary, called "module", can run in any place that includes a Wasm runtime. By design, these modules run in a sandboxed environment. They only have access to its memory and the resources granted by the runtime. In some ways, Wasm and containers solve similar problems. This talk will explore how containers and WebAssembly can work together to unlock the potential of both technologies. You will learn how to mix and match containers and Wasm modules and the benefits of doing so. You will learn how to run your first projects using your favorite language with WebAssembly.
