I've been working on making it easier to run higher-level apps (e.g., Python) in #Hyperlight by adding POSIX support to our micro-VMs. Posted about it on MSFT's OSS blog (see below). It features a demo w/ Hyperlight micro-VMs running AI generated code :)

Amongst all the things, this really is a great book about #webassembly
Geez. I needed a great distraction, and this is it
danilo's book, server-side webassembly, is now available in print!
read his thread for a much better breakdown than we could ever do ↓
half off through jan 12th: hubs.la/Q03ZLzpp0
You’re right again! Tysm!!
Oh—thanks for the heads up. I couldn’t find his profile :)
Anyway, I'm really proud to be able to hold a book I've written myself, so figured I'd share. Big thanks to the team at @manning.com , everyone who reviewed the book, Brendan Burns for the foreword, and Luke Wagner for the afterword. (5/5) 🧵
I also took inspiration from one of my favourite technical books, Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo. Like that book, you'll apply what you learn to a running project (a smart content management system) at the end of every chapter. (4/5) 🧵
Part 2 is for developers and shows how to use Wasm today with familiar tools in the cloud-native ecosystem and Kubernetes. (3/5) 🧵
I split the book into two parts. Part 1 is for architects and covers lower-level Wasm, including building your own runtime host embedding and running Wasm inside a database as user-defined functions (bringing compute closer to data!). (2/5) 🧵
During the last year and a half, I wrote a book on server-side WebAssembly. Getting into Wasm is hard. Resources are scattered, the tech is complex, and it's constantly changing. I wanted to contribute a resource to make learning easier. manning.com/books/server... (1/5) 🧵
For those Master's or Ph.D. students doing systems work, you might have a look at this internship with @microsoft.com's research team: www.linkedin.com/posts/pedroh...
Yes, you'll do some immediately important work, and it's really cool, too.
For those who are about difficult hardware #virtualization efficiency and dev experience (WTF????) you might find @dblnz.dev's blog post on #hyperlight and interactive debugging interesting. It's a blast for any micro-guest, including #webassembly. opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/07...
Missed this: very good article by @thenewstack.io on a @rejekts.io talk prior to #kubeconEU about #hyperlight and #webassembly in #envoy. Slow as a first draft; but getting faster and makes hostile multitenant #networkfunctions possible to imagine. thenewstack.io/webassembly-...
🎉 Speaker lineup announced!
RustConf 2025 is bringing together some of the most exciting voices in Rust — from global adopters to project maintainers to AI researchers and beyond.
Explore the full speaker list → rustconf.com/speakers
Full program and registration to come!
@rustfoundation.org
@danologue.bsky.social and Mikhail Krinmin talking about #hyperlight and #envoy network filters at @rejekts.io
Something I can't wait to talk about at #wasmio and @rejekts.io and at #kubecon: how to run #webassembly components at scale but with efficient hardware protection using #hyperlight.

Pair that with @danologue.bsky.social post on using #hyperlight at scale and you have got something: aka.ms/hl-kubecon-d...
Very happy that the @cncf.io toc has voted to accept #hyperlight into the sandbox program! github.com/cncf/sandbox...
At #KubeConNA2024, we demoed super fast, hardware-protected micro-VMs with Hyperlight—executing untrusted code in just 900µs!
Read how we achieved this & try the demo yourself: 🔗 opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/02...
#RustLang #WebAssembly #CloudNative #MicroVMs
Some cool #hyperlight news: office hours! Come for fun, come for the roadmap, come for the beers (just kidding, libations are only virtual). Got some cool stuff coming fast this new year!

Hey Folks, join us for our first public community meeting for github.com/hyperlight-d... on Wednesday Feb. 5th at 9am PT (dateful.com/convert/pst-...). You can find the join details and agent for the meeting here hackmd.io/blCrncfOSEuq.... Feel free to add topics. See you soon!
#rust #hyperlight
Here at #KubeCon @danologue.bsky.social can't stop demoing #hyperlight.
I've been working on Hyperlight for more than three years now, and each month almost, I became more convinced this was a real step forward for cloud-native infrastructure.

🚀 Just launched a Rust course w/ Udacity! Covers from ownership to FFI, with a project where you build a game engine!! Check out a sneak peek on YT w/ a video on declarative macros covering hygiene tips, and patterns like callbacks, and TT-munchers! youtu.be/lecz9iE2Au0?...
I am a technical editor on the very timely and helpful book "Server-Side WebAssembly" (out soon)! It'll teach you how to use WASM for ergonomic cross-language sandboxed tooling. I'm learning tons from reading/editing the chapters, and I hope you will too.
