where MetaCall is able to break your monolith application into single functions that can be scaled horizontally in different "servers"

it's a new way of scalability
P
and it's possible without modifying your source or writting a single line of DevOps

I have articles if you want to read more about it

sure 👍

man, we are on the page. I’m thinking about these possibilities too. It has a lot of sense!
P
this is the landing page of the FaaS

P
and this the article
P
it's a bit outdated because it doesn't consider unikernels or micro-vms

thanks mate, if you are interested on it we can do some PoC, or similar
P
using WASM can be interesting, allowing more programming languages and backends
P
I was planning to implement LLVM as a backend, but it's complex, takes time, and now WASM is the default backend of LLVM so.. it will be better to do WASM direcly
P
now I support ruby, python, js, nodejs, and netcore as backend and python and ruby as frontend
P
there are some benchmarks in the core, but also I have tested it against existing http servers, and this approach outperforms nodejs and python common http servers

sure, this sounds great indeed. One thing which is not clear to me still: in the current FaaSs user able to use scripting languages, looks like these users are not too much interested in writing Rust or C++ for their purposes.. So it means it’s a slightly new market (somewhere in-between of FaaS and Docker, I guess..)

do you mean that wasm wont be useful for FaaS because c/c++ isn't used for functions?

I think it all makes sense. Users will have more options with Wasm
P
yeah, it's not common to write c/c++ and rust for functions
