At this year’s KubeCon NA, WebAssembly (Wasm) pioneer Cosmonic is offering full developer access to its unique, distributed application development platform. The Cosmonic PaaS is a lightweight, low-boilerplate environment that dramatically simplifies application development and allows developers to run their apps anywhere, at scale, in minutes.
The Cosmonic platform is built on wasmCloud, the fast-growing Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) sandbox project and platform-agnostic environment for composing distributed applications with Wasm and running them in the cloud and at the edge. Cosmonic combines the flexibility and portability of wasmCloud and comes replete with an intuitive suite of Wasm-powered tools, features, and services that removes complexity from application development and management. With Cosmonic, developers can seamlessly scale applications across diverse devices, CPUs, and clouds – including their own.

Cosmonic arrives as the move towards distributed application development grows; community numbers are swelling and wasmCloud’s contributors now number over 100.
The complexities of building modern distributed applications have brought developer productivity to a crawl, adding friction and unnecessary complexity to the development lifecycle. By treating non-functional application requirements (e.g. databases, servers) as services behind an abstraction, Cosmonic enables developers to focus on innovation – from concept to production – in a few simple steps.
Liam Randall, Cosmonic CEO, explains: “Traditional methods put developers through lengthy and unwieldy processes. Taking an application through design, code, test, configure, deploy, and issue resolution takes months, with several more steps when it comes to scale. By making common components a part of the platform, Cosmonic reduces the burden on developers while maintaining air-tight-security.”
Mike Azoff, Chief Analyst at Omdia says: “Wasm and wasmCloud could shepherd in the next wave of software development. They fill many gaps, delivering a ‘write once, deploy multiple times’ promise for developers, abstracting complexity and bringing near-native performance. Spurring Wasm and wasmCloud experimentation is the key to widespread adoption, so introducing a free developer PaaS is the natural next step.”
