Why You Shouldn't Repatriate Your Servers - Addressing Cloud Overconsumption
A year ago, a16z published an article illuminating the true cost of cloud. We are skeptical of their assertion that repatriating to the datacenter is the correct approach. Instead, rethinking microservices will get us farther.

Running .NET in WebAssembly
C# and other .NET languages can now be compiled to Wasm. In this post, we show how to run cloud-side .NET in a WebAssembly runtime.

Wasm, WASI, Wagi: What are they?
Any new technology comes with a litany of new terminology. WebAssembly is no different. In this post, we take a look at how Wasm (short for WebAssembly), WASI (the WebAssembly System Interface) and Wagi (WebAssembly Gateway Interface) work together. The Fermyon Spin framework makes use of all three of these.

WebAssembly Languages
With WebAssembly gaining momentum, a new breed of WebAssembly-specific languages have arrived on the scene. In this post we cover a few of these, including Grain and AssemblyScript

Writing a WebAssembly Service in TinyGo for Wagi and Spin
Of the growing list of WebAssembly capable programming languages, Go is one of our favorites. In this post, we build a real (but tiny) service with TinyGo.

What is Bindle
Bindle is the silverware drawer for Wasm objects. It provides an efficient and flexible packaging system for component-based applications that have variable dependencies.

The Scale to Zero Problem
Rather than run an application all the time, what if we could only start it when it was needed, and thus avoid the cloud cost of running unused services? This was the idea behind scale-to-zero. WebAssembly has an answer.

Why the Bytecode Alliance is important to the Wasm ecosystem
For any ecosystem to grow, it's important for standards to be implemented that establish trust with users within the community. This is the motivation behind the Bytecode Alliance, a non-profit standards setting organization devoted to building secure-by-default software.
