WebAssembly is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine, enabling deployment of code in languages like Go, Rust, or C++ to run in the browser. It allows for efficient image compression algorithms and whole runtimes like Node.js in the browser. WebAssembly provides a capability-based security layer and eliminates the need to worry about server setup. It is already being used by well-known organizations and platforms, and continues to evolve with upcoming features such as a component model, neural network capabilities, garbage collection, and multithreading. WebAssembly modules can be used in React and as a server tool.

Hold on, WebAssembly on the server?! I thought it was for browser! In this talk, we'll explore the benefits of using low-level languages on the server-side, and the different possibilities that WebAssembly provides for building high-performance web applications. We'll dive into different providers for WebAssembly functions, as well as practical use cases for integrating WebAssembly with React. By the end of this talk, you'll walk away with a deeper understanding of how server-side WebAssembly and React can be used together. You'll also gain practical insights into how to use low-level languages on the server-side, and tips for overcoming common challenges when integrating WebAssembly with React.

WebAssembly and React: A New Era of High-Performance Web Applications

Today's Talk discusses running TypeScript in WebAssembly on the cloud using Fermion's WebAssembly runtime. Fermion provides a serverless environment called Spin that allows for easy serverless application development in multiple languages. The process of creating a TypeScript serverless app with Spin involves installing Spin, creating a new app using the HTTP TS template, and testing it on localhost. To deploy the app, the 'spin deploy' command is used, and Fermi on cloud handles routing and makes the app accessible through a public URL.

Build serverless functions in TypeScript, and then compile them to WebAssembly (Wasm) to be run in the cloud. This is a different model than the original Wasm design suggested, but it is proving to be a powerful concept. In this talk, we dive into the background of Wasm, then look at its broader applications before examining a novel way of building TypeScript code into a Wasm binary for execution in the cloud.
