WebAssembly, with Connor Hicks (Suborbital) - S03E09

In this episode we speak to Connor Hicks, Founder of Suborbital, a serverless platform powered by WebAssembly. We discuss how WebAssembly works, when you’d use AssemblyScript rather than other languages which compile to WASM, the use cases for deploying WebAssembly on the backend, and how the dev, test, build, deploy, and observability cycle works when creating code in WebAssembly. About Connor HicksConnor Hicks is based in Ottawa, Canada, and is the founder of Suborbital Software Systems. Connor works primarily on security and distributed systems projects including the Suborbital family of open source projects, and formerly led research and development at 1Password. Connor is a strong believer in building security and privacy into the core of all software, and is exploring the next iteration of web service development with technologies like WebAssembly.Other things mentioned:SuborbitalWebAssemblyOne passwordWordpressBytecode AlliancewasmtimeRustGoShopifyCargoTrunkTinyGoSwiftOpenTelemetryHashicorp NomadGoReleaserCaddyElgatoVS CodeDiscordNotionFirefoxMiroLet us know what you think on Twitter:https://twitter.com/consoledotdevhttps://twitter.com/davidmyttonhttps://twitter.com/cohix  Or by email: [email protected] ConsoleConsole is the place developers go to find the best tools.
