WebAssembly Component Model: Composable Cross-Language Apps
The WebAssembly Component Model represents a paradigm shift in how we build and compose software. Imagine a world where you can combine code from Rust, Python, JavaScript, and Go into a single composable unit, with type safety, security boundaries, and zero runtime overhead. That world is arriving now, and it’s going to change everything about how we architect applications. The Problem With Traditional WebAssembly Standard WebAssembly has taken us far. We can compile C++, Rust, Go, and dozens of other languages to a portable binary format that runs anywhere—browsers, servers, edge computing platforms. But there’s a fundamental limitation: WebAssembly modules speak only through linear memory and numeric types.

Supply chain attacks have become the nightmare scenario for security teams. I’ve investigated breaches where attackers compromised build systems, injected malicious code into trusted packages, and executed attacks affecting millions of users. The 2020 SolarWinds attack, the 2021 Codecov breach, and countless npm package compromises prove that traditional security controls aren’t enough. SLSA (Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts, pronounced “salsa”) is a security framework that actually addresses these threats. It’s not just theory—Google developed SLSA internally and has used it to secure their software supply chain for years. Now it’s open and standardized, providing a clear path to verifiable supply chain security.

TimescaleDB solves a problem I’ve wrestled with for years: how do you store and query massive amounts of time-series data efficiently while keeping the flexibility of SQL? After building time-series systems on top of vanilla PostgreSQL, MongoDB, InfluxDB, and custom solutions, I’ve found TimescaleDB hits the sweet spot of performance and usability that nothing else matches. Let me be clear: TimescaleDB isn’t just another time-series database. It’s a PostgreSQL extension that adds sophisticated time-series optimizations while preserving full SQL compatibility. This matters because you get the entire PostgreSQL ecosystem—ACID transactions, JOINs, foreign keys, JSON support—plus time-series performance that rivals specialized databases.
