Distributed Computation with WASM and WASI - Bailey Hayes & Carl Sverre, SingleStore

Distributed computation is a necessary paradigm for modern analytics. WASI-data is a new proposal for a WASI interface-type API that enables portable, host-, and language-independent ecosystems of composable WASM modules to support distributed algorithms. In this talk, we present the WASI-data interface design and demonstrate a reference implementation written in Rust. We will discuss WASI-data's potential to eliminate data lakes and how WASM could become the primary unit of compute for data processing systems.
