Hey, one of the SpinKube maintainers here! You are correct that there is nothing extra required if what you want is to run Wasm inside a container . However, that comes with a few …

Thanks for the question! For context, the shim is just an implementation detail of how containerd runs workloads; some come pre-built by default on some systems (like runc), and ot…

Hi, everyone! I'm one of the maintainers, I'd love to chat about the project and about how and why we built it.

Thanks for the question! Spin could definitely run in more places than what we have pre-built binaries for. Specifically, we could run on all platforms Wasmtime supports today ( ht…

Joel from our team worked on the initial prototype for WASI support in TeaVM ( https://github.com/konsoletyper/teavm/pull/610 ), and we temporarily forked before the WASI support m…

Hey, thanks for the question! The short answer right now is no. The behavior of the default (and most popular) trigger in Spin (the HTTP trigger) is to create a new instance for ha…

Thank you! (disclaimer: I work at Fermyon, the company that created Spin.) All of Fermyon's websites are powered by Spin, and there are quite a few users who are deploying their Sp…

Thank you for the kind words!

Hey, jesdict1! Check out this community project that adds support for Zig — https://github.com/tensorush/zig-spin .

Thank you! To your point, the primary consideration for choosing the languages is their support for WebAssembly, and WASI in particular. Due to Spin's heavy use of WASI and the com…

Hi, everyone, I'm one of the Spin maintainers. We're really excited about the new release, happy to answer questions about it!

Introducing the first stable release for Spin, the open source developer tool for building, distributing, and running serverless applications built with WebAssembly.

Hi, everyone! One of the platform maintainers here, happy to chat about WebAssembly, our platform, and Spin!

(one of the Spin authors here.) This is not shifting the security responsibility from the firewall entirely — it's just an additional guard rail to ensure only allowed domains can …

(one of the Spin authors here.) I'm not all that familiar with the Java ecosystem, but I seem to recall the CheerpJ people having examples for running Swing applications in the bro…

(one of the Spin authors here.) This is so cool! The Spin documentation website ( https://spin.fermyon.dev ) is also served by Spin itself, running on a Nomad cluster, with the sam…

(one of the authors of Spin here, and a WebAssembly enthusiast.) There are, of course, a lot of similarities between the Java or .NET runtimes and WebAssembly, and other comments m…

(one of the authors of Spin here.) Your intuition is mostly correct. Before anything, I strongly suggest you read this article on server-side WebAssembly — https://hacks.mozilla.or…

(one of the authors of Spin here.) I think this is an excellent point — while we do try to give acknowledgement to the previous technology that paved the way for what we are doing …

Thanks for your comment! (one of the authors of Spin here, working at Fermyon.) You are correct, a lot of our team worked in the DeisLabs R&D team at Microsoft before joining Fermy…

(one of the authors of Spin here.) WIth the disclaimer that this is really early, and we don't have extensive benchmarks yet, there are a few things we are tracking for HTTP worklo…

Hi, and thanks for your comment! (one of the authors of Spin here.) First, both Spin and the component model are in their early stages, but there are a few things I'd mention here:…

Hi! (one of the authors of Spin here) Interesting to hear your thoughts on this, why do you think that? We believe that the things that make WebAssembly attractive in the browser (…

Hi! (one of the authors of Spin here.) As you can assume, we are just as excited about all the places where we can run WebAssembly! That's a pretty intriguing idea, looking forward…

> Microservices are serving us well in many ways. But in some ways, we can do better. Having learned a bit from Functions as a Service, containers, and now WebAssembly, we can reth…
