Cloud Native Now, Thursday, January 1st, 2026
Akamai and Fermyon Technologies formed an alliance that brings WebAssembly (Wasm) software components to a highly distributed cloud computing network.
Fermyon has been at the forefront of providing the infrastructure required to build and deploy Wasm applications using a serverless computing framework. Under the terms of the alliance, that platform will become a service that Akamai is adding to its portfolio.
Ari Weil, vice president of product marketing for Akamai, said that integration will enable application development teams to build and deploy applications running both at the network edge and in the cloud using services provided by Akamai.
