Explore how WebAssembly is revolutionizing enterprise backend systems beyond browser applications in this 45-minute InfoQ conference talk by Red Hat Principal Engineer Andrea Peruffo. Discover Chicory, a pure-Java WebAssembly runtime that enables running polyglot code (C, Rust, Go, Python) directly on the JVM while maintaining security sandbox protection and observability. Learn to implement high-performance plugin systems, execute C-based parsers at JIT speed, and resolve native dependency challenges in cloud-native environments. Examine real-world case studies including accelerating JRuby with C-based parsers, running CPython in TrinoDB, implementing high-performance Go plugins in Debezium, and running SQLite on the JVM. Understand the performance advantages of AOT compilation versus interpreters, explore solutions to memory-grow bottlenecks, and gain insights into when WebAssembly is the optimal choice for your technology stack. The presentation concludes with a Q&A session covering the future of Chicory, WasmGC integration, and Quarkus compatibility, providing comprehensive guidance for leveraging WebAssembly in enterprise Java environments.
