Users have found wasmCloud to be a valuable tool for scaling their applications safely and deploying microservices using a new architecture that reduces their security profile. By leveraging WebAssembly instead of containers, users can enhance the security of their applications. This innovative approach has been recommended by Red Badger, a digital product transformation consultancy, as a game-changing platform that is cloud vendor agnostic, efficient, and performant. Clients have reported that wasmCloud simplifies the process of building and deploying modern, distributed, multi-cloud web applications, making them easy to build and maintain. Additionally, companies with multiple clouds and on-premise platforms have found that wasmCloud allows them to combine everything into one homogenous global platform, simplifying their infrastructure management. It has the potential to upend current technology stacks that are tightly coupled to cloud vendors and give developers and business owners new ways to run their business on different environments such as on-premises, on edge devices, or in the cloud. Users have praised wasmCloud for its ability to simplify their day-to-day work and allow them to focus on writing code that gets work done. Moreover, it is being evaluated and explored as a potential solution for developing next-generation distributed intelligence platforms and as an entry point to introduce server-side WebAssembly to enterprises.
Exceptional Security Features: Several users have praised the platform for its exceptional security features. They have found it effortless to host secure and multi-tenant workloads, independent of the underlying network architecture or geography. This streamlined security approach has helped reduce code bloat and enhance application security.
Simplicity of Deployment Model: Many reviewers have highlighted the simplicity of the deployment model as a strong point of the platform. They find it easy to build a global platform that can run and scale anywhere, regardless of location. The location agnostic feature adds flexibility and convenience for developers, while small portable binaries contribute to an uncomplicated deployment process.
Multi-Language Support: A number of users appreciate the multi-language support provided by the platform. It allows for independent development in different languages, enabling collaboration between developers using languages like Rust and Go. This ployglot capability facilitates efficient teamwork and expands possibilities for developers.
Lack of self-hosting support and details: Several users have expressed the need for wasmCloud to improve its support for self-hosting and external services. They also desire more information on self-hosting platforms, indicating a lack of clarity in this area.
Issues with securing providers and trust chains: Reviewers have mentioned that wasmCloud may be lacking when it comes to securing providers and trust chains. This suggests that there might be vulnerabilities or uncertainties in terms of ensuring the integrity and security of these components.
Complexity of actor languages and deployments: Many users have voiced their desire for simpler actor languages and deployments. They find the current process involving Makefiles to be less than ideal, indicating a need for a more streamlined approach to coding actors within wasmCloud.

(1-6 of 6)wasmCloud: The future of distributed application deployment
- Small portable binaries
- Enhanced application security
- Independent development of actors and capabilities
- Programming language adoption for creating WASM binaries
- Runtime updating/upgrading
- Host density of workloads
- Streamlined security approach to writing code and reducing bloat
- Interoperability of modules written in different languages
- Simplified open-source model for on-boarding devs, i.e. bare host no elixir/GUI
- Home-labbers guide to wasmCloud
- Spark more community involvement for capability providers
Webassemby is the future and wasmCloud is where it should live.
- Ployglot - we have people writing code in Rust and Go that just work together
- Simple concept. Once people are explained the actor/provider model, the tend to see the benifits
- Fast. Without the boilerplate, we get business logic out the door and deployed quickly
- Its a new approach to software engineering...so provide a gentle introduction to new comers that allows them to see why this path is the better path
- DevEx. Debugging and troubleshooting is difficult ATM
- Provide literature as to how we (engineers) and convince leadership to take a gamble on this new approach to software
- Security
- Developer Experience
- Ease of Use
- Cutting Edge Technology
- Multi-Language Support
- Maturity
- Self-Hosting
- Support for more external services needs to be built

- More details on self-hosting platforms
- Securing providers and trust chains
- Simpler Actor languages and deployments (no Makefiles)
Industry-changing, next generation platform for everyone now!
- portable, lightweight workloads that can run and scale literally anywhere (location agnostic)
- great developer experience (DX), focusing on ease of use, time and cost efficiency, and fun. Engineers can focus on core business value rather than non-functional boilerplate code.
- security is at the heart of the platform, making it trivial to host secure, multi-tenant, zero-trust workloads for next-gen distributed architectures
- multi-cloud and vendor agnostic. Easy to build a global platform that is independent of underlying network architecture or geography
- Whilst wasmCloud's genius, in my opinion, is to provide full platform capability just using vanilla WebAssembly, there is no debate that WebAssembly is young on the standards front. The emerging component model is key to WebAssembly adoption. I would love to see some more of wasmCloud's great ideas filter back into the current standardization efforts
