WebAssembly, or Wasm, was shown to be a very practical way to run code on a  web browser, serving as a compiler of sorts. Eventually, it dawned on developers that Wasm could run on server operations systems as well and its use now extends across hardware platforms, leading some to attempt to view it as an alternative to Kubernetes.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
