Wasm in the Fall

We're bringing WebAssembly to you this fall with another virtual Meetup! Streaming is sponsored by solo.io, also one of this months presenters. We'll be using Zoom for this event (registration required) so that we can try breakout rooms. The event will also be streamed on our YouTube account @ youtube.com/c/WebAssemblySF.

Agenda (SF TZ, GMT-7):

5:00pm: Creating a "Docker Like" developer experience for WebAssembly, solo.io
5:45: Networking break
6:00: Using WebAssembly to create an animation engine, Rive
6:45: Networking

About the talks:

Creating a "Docker Like" developer experience for WebAssembly

Solo.io is a company building developer and operator tools for Envoy, API gateways and Service Mesh. This talk covers the developer experience and tools we are building to make it easier to build and share WebAssembly modules for Envoy Proxy (and Envoy based solutions). The demos will cover WebAssembly Hub (a public repository to store and share modules), to wasme (a CLI to build, push, pull, and deploy wasm modules), and an OCI image spec to standardize how the wasm modules are stored that can be applied to any module, not just those for Envoy.

Using WebAssembly to create an animation engine

Animating web sites and apps is a great way to create cool experiences, but building a small, performant animation engine that works across multiple browsers and platforms is challenging. This talk will delve into how Rive built a portable animation engine in C++, and using WebAssembly and Emscripten created an animation runtime that supports multiple web renderers such as Context2D and CanvasKit.
