Part 2/2: Geek-out with the WebAssembly Component Model: Embrace Edge- and Cloud-Native
Workshop (60 min)
With the CNCF project Spin, we get to use WebAssembly's portability and component model, to build applications as monoliths, but being able to run them distributed across clouds and edge-compute providers networks.
Spin enables you to use programming languages like JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust, Go-lang, Python, and many more to write functions, which can execute in many different environments.
The workshop will be a fun little game, where teams will have to solve puzzles while learning the technology. The workshop has all instructions to guide you through building with Spin, and will be instructor-led.
