Visit Fermyon at Microsoft Build
We’re excited to be heading to Seattle next week for Microsoft Build! Building on our long-lasting relationship with Microsoft (many of us started Deis Labs), we’ll be at The Hub to answer questions, share demos, and talk about WebAssembly, Spin, SpinKube, Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes, and Fermyon Cloud. You’ll be able to find us at Booth FP47, near MongoDB and New Relic.
Fermyon and Microsoft share a passion for cloud-native development, and efficiently operating applications at scale. Both as members of the Bytecode Alliance, and having collaborated on projects like containerd-shim-spin, runwasi, and SpinKube, together we’ve made it incredibly easy to experience the next wave of cloud computing using WebAssembly on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). On our recent Live Code Tuesday, Thorsten Hans and Ralph Squillace talked bout various scenarios building serverless applications using Spin on AKS. For a practical guide, this blog post is a great resource: WebAssembly in Azure with Azure Kubernetes Service and SpinKube.
With Fermyon’s compute solution, Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes, teams can run 5,000+ apps per Kubernetes node resulting in dramatic performance gains and steep compute cost savings. This will help you solve overspending on Kubernetes, while providing great developer experiences with a serverless platform for Kubernetes.
Check out our partner page on the MS Build event site, and learn how you can Deliver faster, denser Kubernetes workloads on Azure. And if you are not attending in-person at Build, but still want to learn more, stay in touch, and schedule a demo or subscribe to our newsletter with the latest and greatest product updates.
Recommended sessions
Here are our recommendations for sessions we believe are interesting and will provide great context for what Fermyon wants to achieve on our mission to pioneer the next wave of cloud computing, making it easy to build a new generation of distributed microservices, powered by WebAssembly:
- First one is obviously our very own Thorsten Hans, talking about Hyper-efficient serverless on AKS with Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes
- SpinKube and Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes need scaleable, robust, and performant Kubernetes, and Azure Kubernetes Service is a great solution to that, so don’t miss the Build and scale modern apps with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) session (online or in-person).
- Although not using WebAssembly, we believe this session will give a lot of inspiration as to how you can architect using an event-driven approach in a distributed environment: Serverless architectures: Effortless Intelligent Apps at extreme scale.
- Microsoft Build keynotes are always interesting to gauge the strategic direction Microsoft is taking for product development, so make sure to at least get a summary of what will be presented.
- .NET aspire is an interesting new project in the cloud-native space, and we’ll be highly interested in listening to two key people working on the project (Damian Edwards, and David Fowler): Demystify cloud-native development with .NET Aspire.
- For developer productivity, GitHub Copilot can do that!? is surely important.
- Guaranteed to be fun and highly educational, we don’t want to miss the “Highly Technical Talk” with Hanselman and Toub. Stephen Toub probably holds the world record for the longest blog post in history about Performance Improvements in .NET 8
- And finally all the Imagine Cup sessions showcasing new and inspiring innovation from student startups, building solutions to solve the world’s most pressing issues
