Why wasi 0.3 native async streams change multi-tenant edge architectures

The ratification of WASI 0.3 with native stream<T> and future<T> in the Component Model finally solves the non-blocking I/O dilemma for WebAssembly. Instead of spinning up separate containerized microservices and marshaling JSON over local loopback interfaces, we can compose polyglot components in memory with zero-copy stream piping. It delivers strict sandbox tenant isolation with microsecond startup times and zero network serialization overhead.

this is huge for edge workers tbh. we used to burn so much ram keeping sidecar proxies alive just to route gRPC calls between tenants safely. being able to dynamically link untrusted customer plugins as wasm components and stream responses without heap copying cuts our serverless...
