Explore the potential of serverless WebAssembly for handling compute-intensive workloads in this 16-minute conference talk by Robert Aboukhalil from Invitae. Learn how FaaS solutions powered by WebAssembly, offered by platforms like Cloudflare and Fastly, can overcome traditional serverless function limitations such as cold starts and language support restrictions. Discover the benefits of near-zero function initialization times and expanded language compatibility through WebAssembly compilation. Follow along as Aboukhalil demonstrates a practical application in bioinformatics, showcasing how to compile a C library to WebAssembly and deploy it as a serverless function for efficient compute-intensive analysis.
