    Fermyon Spin is the open source tool for building serverless functions with WebAssembly. We’re going to use a few Spin commands to go from blinking cursor to deployed app in just a few minutes. Along the way, we’ll walk through a Spin project and see some of the features of Spin 2.0.

  • Waggy v0.3 Released!!
    3 projects | /r/softwaredevelopment | 4 Dec 2022
    “Waggy is used for writing WAGI (WebAssembly Gateway Interface) compliant API routers/individual handlers. WAGI was developed by deislabs for accepting and routing incoming HTTP requests with WebAssembly via a configuration file (modules.toml) defining routes, modules, volumes to be mounted, etc. WAGI can run as a stand alone server, or with a framework such as the Fermyon/Spin framework Go SDK. Waggy allows for the flexibility of handling the routing via the modules.toml, or to define it code (Waggy is written in Go), as well as various pieces of convenient functionality such as the new features described above!!”

    They’re VC-funded and will vendor lock-in you. See their response to my discussion:

    https://github.com/fermyon/spin/discussions/861

    With WasmEdge there is no vendor lock-in, it’s opaque and standards-based

  • Recommendations for a resource efficient backend framework?
    1 project | /r/webdev | 15 Oct 2022
    What language do you want? And how experimental are you wanting to go? This project is crazy cool https://github.com/fermyon/spin , but might be harder to work with if you’re not willing to use rust :p, think they might have made it easy for c# too though
