Can You Maintain 1000 Apps? WasmCloud and Kubernetes: The Ultimate Golden Template

This conference talk explores how CNCF wasmCloud (incubating) serves as an ideal golden template for platform engineering when managing numerous applications on Kubernetes. Learn how to overcome the challenges of maintaining 1000+ applications by implementing better abstractions for applications and their capabilities. Discover how wasmCloud enables centralized management of common capabilities like blob stores, HTTP, messaging, and secrets through pluggable, reusable components that scale effectively. The presentation demonstrates how this approach simplifies migrations and secures operations across diverse computing environments—particularly valuable as data locality laws fragment global computing resources. Through demonstration-heavy content based on real-world adoption in Fortune 100 financial services, tech companies, and startups, understand how platform engineers can update thousands of applications simultaneously while allowing development teams to concentrate on their core business logic.
