Hi folks,
It’s Kostas from the Memgraph the Core Team, and I am thrilled to share more about something cool I have been working on recently as a side project. As you probably have guessed from the title - it’s all about WebAssembly. Since there are many details to cover, this will be a three-part article series that will gradually explain how and why we decided to use WebAssembly at Memgraph. But before I deep dive into the WebAssembly world, I would like to share a short story.
It’s Kostas again from the Core Team with the second part of my WebAssembly series. For a quick recap of the last week’s article, I discussed the bottlenecks of working with multiple client libraries and the novel idea of compiling mgclient to a WASM module, effectively mitigating the inter-op dependencies on the bindings. Today, I will dive deeper into the WebAssembly world by discussing a few key ideas behind WASM and its ecosystem, and I will start with a question: how to compile a C library to a WASM module?
It’s Kostas again, and this is the last article of my WebAssembly series. In case you missed it, here is Part 1 and Part 2. Today I will finally talk about how jsmgclient, Memgraph’s WASM-based JavaSript client adapter, came to life.
