Microservices and WebAssembly

Lowering operational overhead is crucial when dealing with microservices, which can quickly become a distributed monolith if not managed properly. David highlights the significant advantages of WebAssembly, particularly its ability to eliminate the lengthy startup times associated with containers. By measuring invocation times in nanoseconds rather than milliseconds, WebAssembly offers a streamlined solution that sidesteps many of the traditional complexities of running functions in a containerized environment.
