Performance Speed for containers 'Far away from native'? Yes IF you are running it on windows or mac but app is built for linux. If you run it on linux, it is native speed. OS calls go directly to kernel, no VM translation layer.

[@andreffrosa]

Exactly

[@tomof]

Not only that. Placing WASM before docker containers in terms of "Performance speed" is so wrong. "Almost native speed" for WASM ruthlessly ignores a level of redirection known as byte code interpretation.

[@HelloThere-xs8ss]

Ok but you have to think about who software is built for. Typically, a regular user will have windows or apple.

Isn't WASM more analogous to JVM rather than Docker? You have a compiler that creates special bytecode (from a limited number of languages) for a VM. As opposed to Docker, where you can run code from any language as long as it has a compiler for your architecture.

[@shubhamsehgal2336]

Just add Java to web and it's somewhat... Oh wait we did that with applets lol

[@fdwr]

WebAssembly is indeed compiled source code to byte code, which is JIT'ed to native code at runtime (and potentially cached). The big difference is that WASM is closer to a basic instruction set architecture (ISA) and does not bake in a particular hierarchy (e.g. Object is not the root of all classes) nor enforce any particular memory model (e.g. you don't have to use lazy garbage collection like the JVM or CLR).

[@109Rage]

Yes, WASM is similar in concept to the JVM-they're both a virtual machine that runs on a bytecode. The difference is that the JVM was designed for Java specifically, so anything that compiles to it has to play nice with JVM semantics, such as classes and garbage collection. WASM's bytecode is lower level, and more simple, so it's way easier to get any arbitrary programming language compiling to it, compared to JVM. The reason WASM is being compared with Docker, is because WASM by default is already fairly restricted, and sandboxed, with the only access to the system being whatever you explicitly give it. Java is technically capable of this as well, stripping out and controlling any syscalls, but its entire ecosystem isn't designed for this. Not to mention, WASM lets you do this with languages that aren't specifically designed for the JVM specifically. If your compiler is built on LLVM, you almost get WASM support for free.

[@MaulikParmar210]

The difference is underlying API, while both are in intermediate format, java bytecode has more OS apis available compared to WASM. Web Assembly is limited to sandbox it's running in. If it's browser, it's limited to APIs available similar to JS sandbox. If it's loaded in wider runtime i.e. v8 / node.js it will have wider set it APIs i.e. network / fs etc. Either way it's more comparable to foreign function interface that alot of languages provides. Runtimes are going to limit what it can do, you can label it as APIs or modules it doesn't matter, concept of sandbox and abstraction remains same. Actual pipeline is that you load intermediate binary, wasm runtime allocate memory and start JIT translation, Native code bootstraps and executes entry function i.e. main function. With inter process communication both world communicates. WASM would use stdlib and other posix complaint syscalls so that it remains OS independent, there's no magic there, runtime is just broker which manages resources and pass on syscalls. On docker entire thing is done using Linux namespaces which is entirely different concept to spawn process as lightweight VM and doesn't have runtime on it's own rather gets namespaced translations of all syscalls directly. That's why you need images compiled for specific arch in containers while WASM can execute on any complaint runtime.

Yes it's the JVM vision.

It uses the Linux kernel, so it is in Linux, but windows and Mac need to run a "VM" with Linux in order to spin up containers from what I've understood

[@_akuma06]

@@brunobellomunhoz You're right. On windows, docker uses WSL 2 for the containerized apps and WSL 2 behaves like a "VM" but is not actually one.

[@pl4nty]

@@_akuma06 WSL2 actually is a VM, running on Hyper-V

[@_akuma06]

@@pl4nty Yeah it's more on the play on word here. But WSL2 uses a VM under the hood with hyperv, but what you have access to is not a VM in the truest sense. It just behaves like it. It means you can have the advantages of WSL1 (fast start-up time, no need to manage your VM, not isolated from the host, less memory consumption and CPU usage...) and still have the advantages of a VM. That's what they mean in the documentation of WSL2 when they it 'behaves' like a VM.

[@pl4nty]

@@_akuma06 kinda, but WSL2 is very much a (Windows-managed) VM - it runs a virtualised kernel and network switch. It also has similar isolation to a VM. It has some performance optimisations (eg custom kernel), and a bunch of tooling (eg WSLg, USDIPD), but the core architecture is hyperv. Windows has standardised on it to reduce attack surface and accelerate development - WDAG and Windows Sandbox have taken similar approaches

14:05, the Performance Speed comparison is wrong. I think it should be the other way aroud. Containerized apps run at native speed. That’s why you need to compile them for the specific architecture. WASM, on the other hand, is slower because it needs to be translated to that architecture

[@_akuma06]

I can assure you that a docker container on windows doesn't run at native speed.

[@gusik89]

I don't see many use cases where one should use containers + WASM instead of just WASM and WASI. I think this technology has a great potential replacing containers because it provides a way to deploy and execute your application anywhere with little overhead and complexity compared to containers. This is something like Java on steroids with open standards and ability to use different programming languages and tools which makes it even more tempting, you just use your beloved language, compile it and deploy anywhere.

platform independent thing can be said for JVM too. what's thats not the replacement for docker?

[@m4heshd]

As much as I loved this video, people shouldn't even be comparing these two technologies since they serve completely different purposes in very different manners even though the stack looks a bit similar. Also, Docker is made for server-side applications which a majority of the time, runs on Linux. When Docker containers execute on Linux, they do run at native performance because IT IS running natively since there's no emulation or virtualization going on. Simply think of it as a glorified "chroot". WASM is practically doing what Java with JVM did, but a bit better. Remember applets people? 😏

Thanks Mumshad... your videos are always interesting and educative. I think the pace at which Software Development is changing in its entire approach along with tools, processes and expectations, its becoming humanly impossible for Software Developers to match the expectations. And mostly people are learning these tools, frameworks, etc only to the level of getting work done. Naturally , cause it would take time for any human software developer to work on a perticular tech/ tool for a considerable period of time to develop expertise of next level. But by then the ask changes, tool changes, processes change and every employer wants Developer to have solid experience in these new shiny tools, tech. Which a human cant have , not they are expert beyond a point in the Tool they have been using because many were trying to catch the bus of change. 😃 Change is good , pace of new tech i is good , provided it adds real value to the objective. I hope Software Developers too may be thinking in the same direction.

[@davidsalgado7372]

Interesting, however you’re wrong about docker performance, it can be slower to load but once loaded it’s by definition more performant because there is no transpilation (conversion from intermediate code to native code) as the wasm would need. Don’t confuse process virtualization (docker) with hardware virtualization (hypervisors) which have a considerable amount of overhead.

To reduce the docker image size and application startup time you can use images like alpine or distroless. And when you run docker inside a linux machine the docker container it should be running at native speeds. In contrast when you run docker on Windows and on MacOS it needs to create a linux vm to run the containers on.

If I were to build an application from scratch and are not bound to Docker/K8s work flows, is docker/K8s necessary? Also are they're orchestration tools like k8s for WASM or in the works? It seems like docker is only necessary since its something were familiar with and is already in our infrastructures.

[@KodeKloud]

"There are a lot of benefits of Docker and Kubernetes you can read more about them here: Docker: kodekloud.com/blog/role-of-docker-in-devops Kubernetes: kodekloud.com/blog/benefits-of-kubernetes/ For example, assume that you have to deploy a cluster with microservices, every day there are a lot of commits code of the developer team for moreover 20 services. Containerizing all of these applications and deploying them to Kubernetes is such a great idea. You can build CI/CD, set up Monitoring, and config security containers. This is effective."

K8s is code as infra ... There are many benefits to using this approach. And all about monitoring, and version management

Thank you for the detailed overview. I agree with you as I highly doubt they will replace Docker or Kubernetes.

I see its use in the back end very unlikely. However, it wouldn't be the first time I realize the power of a technology only after it reaches a decent level of maturity.

Docker doesn't allow applications to run anywhere. Most people who use docker use Linux containers. When they run the Linux containers, they are running them on Linux. If the host OS is Mac or Windows, they run them in a virtual machine in Linux. Docker isn't giving any portability, as you are still running it in Linux. While a normal C program can be compiled to run under those different operating systems. It can also be statically linked so you end up with a single exe with no dependencies. And if you need dependencies, they can be put in a single folder. Call your folder a container if you like. What Docker provides that doesn't normally come with the OS, is the namespace isolation. Which, depending on the program may or may not be a good thing.

[@dynamite-bud]

Because there's no networking stack so your wasm applications are just limited to system scope and don't do much more than printing hello world or calculating a fibonacci sequence. But there have been projects like fermyon that expose networking in their own way. So you can try them or try Wasmer with custom host functions with gpu, networking and so on.

So we can send the backend to the front end? … what’s the implications? Can web assembly be easily reverse engineered?

[@KodeKloud]

"WebAssembly allows you to send parts of the backend to the front end, running code written in languages like C, C++, Rust, and others directly in the browser. This improves performance and responsiveness by reducing the need for frequent server-side round trips. To achieve this: 1. Compile your backend code to WebAssembly, creating a .wasm binary file. 2. Load the WebAssembly code into your front-end application using JavaScript. 3. Interact with the backend logic directly on the front end, calling functions and passing data back and forth. WebAssembly is particularly useful for computationally intensive tasks, such as image or video processing, simulations, or data analytics. However, sensitive operations and certain security-related tasks are generally better suited for server-side processing. It complements JavaScript and opens up new possibilities for creating richer and more interactive web applications."

[@BryanChance]

What about debugging? Do you do it before compiling to WASM? What kind of debugger does it support? Container is good for large scale deployment of specific app or services, like a fleet of containers running a video encoder. Maintaining and updating docker containers is not easy either. And browser based apps drive me crazy. I have 10+ browser windows open with 20-50+ tabs open. Where is that specific tab I'm looking for? And with ALL the constant browser security issues...I don't want to run my trading app or otherwise in a browser. Do you really want to play a game and accident activate BACK BUTTON? oops....

Another use case my be create plugins in any language, some API Gateways like Kong allow that .

[@floppa9415]

I still think the two have nothing to do with each other. The whole point of Docker is to solve the dependency hell problem you face when using pretty much anything. WASM with WASI on the other hand is yet another bytecode format for code plus a way to interact with the OS - just like the JVM or .NET. Like what happens if one Programm you want to deploy needs WASI 1.1 and another one 1.2. Then you still have the same problem that docker solved.

Docker containers do NOT work exactly as you asserted and Docker can do things WASM cannot.

[@oefzdegoeggl]

disagree here. the container startup time is irrelevant, unless you programmed complete shit you will have services that run either forever or until the instance gets destroyed or updated, whatever comes first. "near native performance" of wasm? well. no. not even remotely. a native executable within a docker container will run circles around the wasm version. and even multi-platform compatibility is not an issue, docker allows you to package multiple versions (lets say arm + x86) into a single image.

Nice, people are reinventing Java all over again Except that this time it is somehow even worse
