00:00 - Introduction
39:20 - Closing thoughts and Kubecon EU

In this episode I talk with Matt Butcher, Co-Founder and CEO of Fermyon. Fermyon is revolutionizing cloud computing with their serverless #webassembly platform. Pioneering the next wave of cloud computing by simplifying the deployment and management of #serverless applications with WASM. Matt and I talk about the company's core product, Spin, and how it simplifies the deployment and management of WebAssembly applications, enabling developers to focus on the important aspects of their projects. WASM addresses some potential flaws in Kubernetes... security and ease of use.

The company was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Colorado.
