WebAssembly Components: From Cloud to Edge (LFD134)

Learn about the portability, efficiency, and security of WebAssembly modules and how to leverage a number of open source frameworks to create distributed and seamlessly connected components that can be deployed in a browser, on a laptop, in the cloud, on a Raspberry Pi, or practically anywhere.

Who Is It For
This course is designed for developers who have built or are building microservices and have experienced a high degree of friction in cloud native application development. Developers looking to embrace the simplicity of Functions as a Service (FaaS) without the overhead of cloud providers or sacrificing the ability to experiment and test locally and in any other environment will gain significant value from this course.

What You’ll Learn
Learn foundational Rust skills such as creating and hosting WebAssembly modules. Explore the JavaScript WebAssembly API for browsers and multiple alternative, non-web host runtimes for WebAssembly. Become familiar with the benefits and usage of the component model and gain the ability to easily create distributed, cloud native applications using secure WebAssembly modules as a deployment target by leveraging open source projects. Learn to differentiate between the features and functionality afforded by the base WebAssembly specification versus additional features added by community tooling and open source projects, and understand how WebAssembly-based applications really work.
