Spin
A vendor-neutral open-source project hosted by the CNCF for building and running server-side WebAssembly applications. It provides a CLI tool, a wasmtime-based runtime, and multi-language SDKs, supporting execution on local machines, edge nodes, and embedded devices.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Spin is a CNCF-hosted, vendor-neutral project for building WebAssembly applications that run on the server side, consisting of three pillars: a CLI, a wasmtime-based runtime, and language-specific SDKs.
Spin itself is language-agnostic; any language that can compile to WebAssembly (including the WASI interface) can be used.
WasmCP is a CLI tool that integrates seamlessly with Spin, letting developers focus solely on business logic while it handles non-functional requirements such as OAuth2 and OIDC.
After deploying to Akamai Functions, Spin key-value storage seamlessly switches to globally distributed key-value storage with no configuration required from the developer.
A global deployment executed via spin aka deploy takes approximately 60 seconds to complete, and after all regions return HTTP 200, the platform automatically assigns a public subdomain.
