Explore distributed computation with WASM and WASI in this conference talk by Bailey Hayes and Carl Sverre from SingleStore. Delve into the WASI-data proposal, a new interface-type API designed to enable portable, host-, and language-independent ecosystems of composable WASM modules for distributed algorithms. Learn about the WASI-data interface design and its reference implementation in Rust. Discover how WASI-data could potentially eliminate data lakes and position WASM as the primary unit of compute for data processing systems. The presentation covers modern app challenges, data explosion, WASM's role in addressing these issues, and introduces wasi-data with its various extensions including lambda functions, procedural extensions, relational extensions, and workflow extensions. Gain insights into how wasi-data works within the ecosystem and its potential impact on distributed computation.
