How it's Made

Here's a breakdown of how WASM-IPFS-Serverless was built, including the technologies used, their integration, and any notable aspects:

WebAssembly (WASM) Computing

• Technology: Leveraged WebAssembly for its efficient and portable bytecode format, enabling high-performance computing within the serverless environment.
• Integration: Integrated WebAssembly runtime libraries and tools to compile and execute WASM modules seamlessly within the serverless framework.

IPFS Integration

• Technology: Utilized IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) for decentralized storage and retrieval of data.
• Integration: Integrated IPFS libraries and APIs to interact with the IPFS network, allowing for secure and decentralized data storage and retrieval.

Partner Technologies and Benefits

• Filecoin-Lassie: Leveraged for IPFS file retrieval, enhancing data access capabilities within the serverless environment.
• Filecoin-IPLD-Go-Car: Used for IPFS Car file extraction, enabling efficient handling of IPFS Car files within the project.
• Extism: Integrated for wasm plug-in mechanism, facilitating extensibility and customization of the serverless environment through wasm plugins.
• wazero: Utilized for wasm virtual machine capabilities, ensuring efficient execution of WebAssembly code within the serverless framework.
• Fiber: Integrated for high-performance HTTP server functionalities, enhancing network communication and HTTP request handling within the serverless environment.

Notable Aspects

• Dynamic IPFS Integration: Dynamically integrated with IPFS using Filecoin-Lassie and IPFS CID references in the configuration, allowing for seamless interaction with IPFS resources.

Overall, WASM-IPFS-Serverless aims to improve the convenience of decentralized and edge trusted computing, and aims to provide a powerful and efficient runtime framework for decentralized applications.
