Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Write functions in any language that can be compiled to WASM e.g. Go, Rust, Zig. Tarmac adds platform features like callbacks, logging, k/v store, SQL and HTTP fetching. Functions get exported to WASM then deployed using Tarmac running as a container (or outside of Docker if you prefer). Chain together functions into services.

Tradeoffs

Official SDK only available for Go (using TinyGo), but you can call out into Tarmac platform primitives from other languages.
