Users start noticing lag after just 100 milliseconds (a blink of an eye) making latency a critical challenge for modern, globally distributed applications. In this talk, Kate shares how Akamai and Fermyon partnered to beat that blink, minimizing both network and compute latency by deploying Spin-based WebAssembly functions across the Akamai Cloud. She’ll explore how this architecture enables polyglot, sub-millisecond serverless functions with global availability and lightning-fast responsiveness.
