A RedMonk Conversation: WASM Component Model with Fastly

Luke Wagner (Distinguished Engineer at Fastly) joins Rachel Stephens of RedMonk to talk more about:

• Comparing and contrasting how code executes in a WASM module vs a container


• The power of the WASM component model, with an animated explainer of how calls run through the stack


• A discussion about the ByteCode Alliance and the standards they are helping implement

This was a RedMonk video, sponsored by Fastly.
