Michael Yuan, Second State: “The default should be zero trust”
The application optimization cycle becomes critical if keeping up with consumer expectations and agile business operations are desired to be achieved. Harnessing the full power of the cloud can not only reduce costs but also visibly improve the everyday user experience. Therefore, building native cloud applications should become a priority.
Today, our researchers contacted Michael Yuan, CEO of Second State – a company developing a lightweight, fast, and extensible code runtime for the edge and microservices– to find out the main challenges surrounding edge computing, whether choosing a VPN can help protect you on the cloud, and much more.
Second State was created in 2019 to develop and commercialize a new open-source WebAssembly runtime (WasmEdge) specifically designed and optimized for cloud-native applications. We now have a thriving open source community (3000+ GitHub stars and over 100 code contributors), and many users/customers including several Fortune 500 companies.
WasmEdge is poised to become the next-gen lightweight application container to bring the cloud-native computing paradigm to a variety of applications from edge cloud, edge devices, and SaaS, to the blockchain.
