Expanding Swift from Apps to Services
The Swift programming language is a popular choice for applications, but many engineers are less familiar with Swift’s capabilities for writing services. This session will explore why Swift is a great fit for services development, from memory safety to interoperability with other languages. Finally, we’ll discuss some of the principles we use when writing services in Swift at Apple.

How WebAssembly Components Enable Safe and Portable Software Extensions
Tuesday Apr 8 / 02:45PM BST
Application extensions are an essential part of any software ecosystem. While Rust is a great language, its lack of a standard ABI means that the whole source code has to be available to the compiler.

WASM Components are a FaaS' Best Friend
Tuesday Apr 8 / 05:05PM BST
Why would you build your own Function as a Service platform and what does a FaaS architecture look like? Building something that can scale to zero, work with your existing systems, stay secure, and handle different workloads isn’t easy.
