Fermyon Introduces WebAssembly Platform for Kubernetes
March 13, 2024

Fermyon™ Technologies announces Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes, a WebAssembly platform for Kubernetes.

Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes enables enterprises to achieve 50x or greater workload density per node, dramatically reducing costs while also increasing capacity.

Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes is a robust, easy-to-use serverless platform that enables developers to quickly deploy WebAssembly (Wasm) applications to Kubernetes, regardless of their experience level with Kubernetes. It also enables enterprises to run more workloads on their Kubernetes clusters and easily scale up or down based on usage, thereby increasing performance and lowering costs. Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes runs on self-hosted infrastructure, whether cloud-hosted or on-premises, alleviating vendor lock-in.

Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes Key Benefits:

- Greater than 50x Density: Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes can deliver >1,500 serverless applications per Kubernetes node, with automated scale-to-zero and sub-millisecond cold-start times. Increased density can dramatically lower costs and add more capacity per node.

- Unmatched Developer Experience: Using the WebAssembly Component Model, developers with little to no Kubernetes expertise can easily build and deploy secure, highly performant, cross-platform applications.

- Simplified Kubernetes Implementations: By deploying Spin WebAssembly applications to Kubernetes, Fermyon enables the standardization of a hosting platform across hosting providers.

“Fermyon is enabling enterprises to seamlessly incorporate the performance benefits that previously only existed in Fermyon Cloud into their existing Kubernetes deployments. Developers can now take their serverless WebAssembly experience to the next level, with mind boggling performance benefits and developer ease-of-use,” said Matt Butcher, CEO at Fermyon Technologies. “Fermyon is proud to be at the forefront of the third wave of cloud computing by bringing WebAssembly into the cloud native ecosystem. We are also eager to follow the efficiency and ease-of-use gains that this new technology brings to developers and platform engineers.”

Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes is powered by SpinKube, an open source project that streamlines the experience of developing, deploying, and operating Wasm workloads on Kubernetes. SpinKube combines the Spin operator, containerd Spin shim, and the runtime class manager (formerly KWasm) open source projects with contributions from Microsoft, SUSE, Liquid Reply, and Fermyon. By running applications at the Wasm abstraction layer, SpinKube enables application developers to easily deploy serverless WebAssembly applications into Kubernetes, leading to efficient use of node resources with cold start speeds under one millisecond.

Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes and SpinKube are available now.
