Does anyone have any good resources that cover the implementation of wasm as a plug-in system on either a backend or frotend? Just curious to deep dive on this. Could be a video or in-depth article.
We (Splitgraph) implemented WASM UDFs in Seafowl [0], a database written in Rust based on Datafusion and optimized for executing queries "at the edge" and returning cache-friendly HTTP responses. Users can call CREATE FUNCTION within an SQL query to create a WASM UDF (docs [1]).
We blogged [2] about this feature, and you can read the relevant PRs [3] containing the changes necessary for its implementation.
Fluvio is an open source data pipeline project [1] w/ plugin wasm modules for data transformations as "SmartModules"[2]. In our case we can run wasm plugins on frontend or backend (none of which require a browser). Feel free to come by our Discord if you have any questions. Disclosure: I work as a engineer for Infinyon backing the project.
