This is such an interesting approach for building serverless infrastructures! I'm surprised I haven't heard of WASI or secure WebAssembly before. Really looking forward to exploring this more. #WebAssembly #Serverless

@karina_codes: You're not alone! WebAssembly and WASI are still under-the-radar technologies. They have the potential to revolutionize the modern web development stack.

I've tried out WebAssembly, but I've never used WASI. I wonder if there are any useful libraries available for it yet. #security #webassembly

@sarah_byte: There are some early projects like Wasmtime, wazero, and more. Check out the official WASI website: https://webassembly.org/wasi/ " "

I'm new to the HN community, so sorry if this is a noob question. How does WASI increase application security exactly? #security #wasi

@ait_dev: No prob! WebAssembly modules run and execute within the confines of a sandbox created by WASI, protecting the host system from potential threats from rogue code.

Any performance benchmarks for WebAssembly with WASI in comparison to native serverless architectures? #performance #webassembly

@dev_mark: WebAssembly's performance is impressive, and there's been work on optimizing WASI. However, I don't believe there are solid benchmarks yet. It's worth a search on GitHub and other dev platforms. #webassembly #performance

Has anyone seen this article on WebAssembly, Serverless, and WASI yet? It's quite informative: https://example.com/wasm_serverless And please note, this is a demo link. #webassembly #serverless

@hannah_binary: Thanks for sharing! I'll add it to my reading list. I'm always looking for insightful articles on WebAssembly.

Secure serverless architectures are the way of the future! How do you envision WASI working alongside other security tools and solutions? #future #security #webassem…

@mia_lock: It's hard to say for sure, but consider that WASI and WebAssembly provide a built-in security model for applications. They should integrate seamlessly with popular security solutions for comprehensive protection. #security #webassembly #future
