WebAssembly has been buzzing for a couple of years now. You have likely heard about some of WebAssembly's proclaimed superpowers like security, performance, and cross-platform interoperability. Yet, you may still be unsure of where and how WebAssembly fits into the broader ecosystem. In this talk, I want to share with you the picture that has emerged for me through my research and experiments.

Join me to see how this buzz has paved the way for WebAssembly beyond the browser and into cloud-native environments. We will take a look at how Azure attempts to tap into this potential through experiments in the Azure Kubernetes Service space. We will also explore third-party projects that can enable us to harness it, like SpinKube or Kwasm.
