Conference ⸱ +400 views ⸱ Jul 21, 2026 ⸱ 00h 36m 49s
tldw: WebAssembly began as a browser technology but is quickly finding a home on the server, and its next frontier is cloud-native. Nicolas Fränkel, Head of Developer Advocacy at Apache APISIX, shows how pairing Wasm with Kubernetes can reshape application deployment and open up new possibilities for running cloud-native workloads. You’ll learn where server-side WebAssembly fits today and where it is heading.
3. “How to Think like a Performance Engineer - Harry Roberts - performance.now() 2025” from performance.now() 2025
Conference ⸱ <100 views ⸱ Jul 22, 2026 ⸱ 00h 49m 46s
tldw: Site-speed tooling is getting better and better, but has performance testing actually become any easier or more trustworthy? Harry Roberts, independent web performance consultant and Google Developer Expert, audits client projects every day and argues the areas of confusion have only grown: which tools to use, whether to trust them and how to run tests that are realistic and actionable. He walks through practical tools and workflows so every test has a purpose and yields data you can truly leverage.
4. “WhatsApp Private Processing - Kevin Hui, Yunqi Li, Elizabeth Li, Henry Wang & Varun Patil, Meta” from Confidential Computing Summit 2026
