How to create lightweight and high-performance web services in the WebAssembly sandbox, and then deploy them for free on edge cloud provider fly.io.

The author demonstrates how to create lightweight and high-performance web services using the WebAssembly sandbox, i.e., WasmEdge runtime, and how to deploy them on Fly.io for free. WasmEdge offers near-native speed, security, a reduced attack surface, a reduced risk of software supply chain attack, and a portable and lightweight runtime environment. The author demonstrates how to run async HTTP servers, image classification web services, and node.JS web servers with database connections using Rust and JavaScript in WasmEdge.
