WebAssembly (WASM), Edge Computing, and AI Agents are converging, and Fermyon is right at the center. With 39% of organizations already adopting WebAssembly (WASM) for modern app development, the technology is quickly becoming a cornerstone for building scalable, portable, and secure workloads, especially as AI moves from experimentation to production. Fermyon’s partnership with Akamai extends WASM’s reach by enabling AI workloads to run at the edge, reducing latency and unlocking new real-time use cases for AI agents and bots, which are now appearing in production environments at unprecedented rates. Projects like Spin and SpinKube, which were donated to the CNCF and developed in collaboration with Microsoft and SUSE, enable the faster, safer, and more portable deployment of multi-architecture, serverless WASM apps. As Fermyon CEO Matt Butcher notes, “We’ve gone from blue-sky AI exploration to real-world problems fast. WebAssembly is the platform that can scale with those needs.” In this AppDevANGLE episode recorded live at Open Source Summit North America 2025, Paul Nashawaty, Principal Analyst at theCUBE Research, sits down with Matt Butcher, CEO and Co-founder of Fermyon, to talk about the next era of cloud-native development and the evolving landscape of open source innovation.
