Great article! I've been looking into serverless architectures lately, and I'm curious, how did you handle the serverless deployment of your app?

Hi user101! I used AWS Lambda along with API Gateway for my serverless deployment. Overall, it was a smooth experience with a small learning curve!

First time hearing WebAssembly being used in a real-time application. Would you say it might become a game changer in the future?

Hi newbie_dev33! WebAssembly is indeed gaining traction as a performant, portable runtime for web apps. I'd be glad to see it becoming a game changer, but currently, there's room for improvement.

Brilliant post! To what extent did you optimize the Wasm code, considering serverless environments' constraints?

Hi optimization_master99, thank you! Optimizing Wasm for serverless has its challenges. I've focused on reducing wasted resources, vectorizing and parallelizing when possible, and employing lazy loading techniques.

The combination of WebAssembly and audio processing is so powerful! Between this and the ideas in your other articles, I've gained plenty of ideas to tinker with. Thanks a million!

I'm just getting started with WebAssembly and audio processing. Any suggestions for development environments or resources?

Hi beginner_developer2! I suggest starting with Emscripten SDK to compile C/C++ code into efficient WebAssembly modules. Additionally, check out the WebAssembly documentation and web-audio-api-samples projects on Github for further learning.

@original_poster, fantastic job with unit testing given that this is a serverless application! Could you go into more detail about your methodology?

Hi testing_enthusiast7! Thank you! To support unit testing in a serverless context, I employed Jest+Supertest for the services backed by external APIs. I also created a custom solution to mock the AWS ecosystem using Node-aws-sdk-mock.
