Cosmonic’s new WebAssembly platform-as-a-service offering makes it easier than ever to integrate Wasm into existing applications, while also adding a number of new features to make integration even more seamless.
Randall has a long history of working on Kubernetes projects, and his experience will be essential as the company tries to compete with giants like Google and Amazon. While Stacklet was largely unsuccessful in its commercial aims, Randall’s experience may help the new company thrive.
WebAssembly is one of the most exciting new technologies to come out in a long time. It is a low-level, portable, and secure language that allows for extremely fast and lightweight code execution on web browsers. This makes it perfect for game development, 3D printing, cloud computing, and more.
Through its work on the Wasm community and tooling, Cosmonic is working to fully support large-scale application deployment in a serverless environment. By providing a well-rounded ecosystem of tools and services, Cosmonic is making it easier for enterprises to leverage Wasm as the underlying architecture for their multi-tier applications. This move away from traditional computing architectures will help drive innovation across many industries, including but not limited to software development, data processing, and artificial intelligence.
In the early days of FaaS, which stands for Functions as a Service, it was all about using popular languages like Java and Node.js to create scalable back-end systems. However, this is no longer the case as more FaaS platforms are starting to use WebAssembly. Cosmonic Engineering Director Taylor Thomas explains that this is because it’s the easiest way to get cross-platform language support. This means that developers can build products in whichever language they are most comfortable with, regardless of whether or not the platform uses WebAssembly. This gives developers more freedom and flexibility when building their products, which is an appealing feature for many companies.”
Cosmonic has a long history in the FaaS space, and it’s clear that they see the promise of WebAssembly as fundamental to its future. Their PaaS product builds on this belief, offering developers an easy way to assemble their applications and run them anywhere.

WebAssembly is a technology that allows for the creation of highly modular and reusable applications. This, in turn, will allow for more innovation in the development of software. As a result, WebAssembly is poised to be the final abstraction of technology, ending the era of monolithic application libraries.
Cosmonic’s PaaS is a powerful cloud-enabled platform that allows developers to easily create and deploy web applications. The wasmCloud application runtime, donated to the CNCF in 2021, provides an easy way for developers to get started with wasm technology. Thanks to its contributors, Cosmonic’s PaaS is one of the most advanced cloud-enabled platforms available today.
Cosmonic’s Wadm is a declarative application manager for wasmCloud applications that extends the cloud-native infrastructure model to the WebAssembly space. This allows developers to build and manage their applications using a familiar framework while reducing complexity and increasing security.
Imagine upgrading your car with the latest technology, but instead of having to go to a mechanic or dealership to do it yourself, you can do it all from your couch! Wadm is like that for infrastructure – it’s familiar, easy to maintain and reliable, but with the latest features and updates. By using Wadm, cities can continue to provide essential services while also being able to take advantage of the newest technologies and innovations.
