Microservices can be costly, but we can rewrite the design pattern to make them more efficient. This is where serverless functions can change things, as our CEO, @technosophos.bsky.social, points out in a Forbes article: bit.ly/4gN6vRw
Council Post: Implementing Microservices As Serverless
Microservices have become an established design pattern in enterprise computing, but they can cost more than you might think.

I penned this "mild-mannered rage post" after a guy told me very bluntly that Wasm wasn't ready for production, but seemed to have no idea at all that Wasm has been around for years and is already deployed broadly into production systems.

You Are Already Using Wasm In Production
I am often surprised when I hear folks ask, “When will WebAssembly be ready for production?” There seems to be some lurking suspicion that something is holding WebAssembly back.

This is so so cool. The productivity gains and new workflows possible through this feature (both for app developers and platform engineers) are game changing!
With Selective Deployments, developers can build a single app that, at deployment time, can be split into separate microservices.
This is the WebAssembly Component Model at work!
