During the last year and a half, I wrote a book on server-side WebAssembly. Getting into Wasm is hard. Resources are scattered, the tech is complex, and it's constantly changing. I wanted to contribute a resource to make learning easier. manning.com/books/server-sid… (1/5) 🧵

🚀 Azure Front Door edge actions is live in public preview powered by Hyperlight, the isolation engine my team builds! Every customer's code runs in its own Hyperlight VM. Secure, programmable compute at the global edge. So proud! 🛡️🔥 #Azure #Hyperlight techcommunity.microsoft.com/…

Can you combine Wasm sandboxing with hardware isolation and still avoid slow cold starts?
@danologue breaks down two approaches:
• No OS (just memory and CPU)
• Microkernel (controlled syscalls and more support)

I've been working on making it easier to run higher-level apps (e.g., Python) in #Hyperlight by adding POSIX support to our micro-VMs. Posted about it on MSFT's OSS blog (see below). It features a demo w/ Hyperlight micro-VMs running AI generated code :)

🎤 The RustConf 2026 CFP is OPEN!
We’re looking for talks that share real experiences using Rust — what you’re building, what you’ve learned, and what’s working in practice.
Submit your proposal by February 16: bit.ly/3LtKTzx #rustconf #rustconf25
I also took inspiration from one of my favourite technical books, Accelerated C++ by Andrew Koenig and Barbara E. Moo. Like that book, you'll apply what you learn to a running project (a smart content management system) at the end of every chapter. (4/5) 🧵
Anyway, I'm really proud to be able to hold a book I've written myself, so figured I'd share. Big thanks to the team at @ManningBooks, everyone who reviewed the book, Brendan Burns for the foreword, and Luke Wagner for the afterword. (5/5) 🧵

WebAssembly isn't just for the frontend.
Server-Side WebAssembly by @danologue shows how to use components, WASI, and backend architecture together to build real web back ends — anchored by a practical CMS project

"WebAssembly on the server is the future of computing."

This book lays out everything you need to take #WebAssembly beyond its traditional browser domain. By following the numerous practical examples and crystal-clear explanations, you'll soon be seeing the benefits of reduced cold start times, improved security and performance, and the freedom of polyglot programming. @danologue #wasm #rustlang #rust

Tired of trading performance for safety? Or portability for speed?
WebAssembly challenges that tradeoff. Server-Side WebAssembly by @danologue shows how to use it in real systems.

Another book gone to print this week. I like the assembly angle. Early in my career I wrote a fair bit of 6502 assembly, 8086 assembly, and even quite a bit of Xerox Sigma VI assembly. Those were good days, and I enjoyed dropping into assembly from the various higher level languages I was coding in. Sometimes my doing that was justified, and other times I really shouldn't have. We grow in wisdom (hopefully!) as we progress in life.

Kubernetes shouldn’t have to choose between speed & safety.
See how Hyperlight and Nanvix combine container-level performance with VM-level isolation.

Rust is fast & efficient. But how do you bring an existing codebase up to that level?
Today 3:45 PT at #RustConf: @danologue (author of Server-Side WebAssembly) & Ludvig Liljenberg share how they re-engineered Microsoft’s Hyperlight in Rust.
