deploying a WebAssembly microservice under edgeEngine

The objective of this track is to demonstrate how to build a WebAssembly module from pre-existing code that you’ll download from GitHub. Also, you’ll learn to deploy the WebAssembly binary you’ll build. The WebAssembly binary will be used use by the mimik edgeEngine.

The benefit of WebAssembly

Whereas edgeEngine microservices are typically programmed in an interpreted language such as JavaScript, WebAssembly modules are programmed in a low level language such as C++ or Rust. As a result, WebAssembly modules are very efficient and fast. Thus, they bring a new level of power to edgeEngine programming.

deploying a WebAssembly microservice under edgeEngine

In this lesson you’ll be building an edgeEngine microservice that reports the current time via a RESTful API. The microservice’s API logic is written in C++.

This track shows you how to…

  • install the tools and libraries that you’ll need to build a WebAssembly module under edgeEngine
  • install the edgeEngine runtime and the edgeEngine CLI tool in the interactive learning environment.
  • download the demonstration code for the WebAssembly module
  • build an edgeEngine image from the WebAssembly demonstration code
  • deploy the edgeEngine image into a edgeEngine container that represents the demonstration microservice
  • exercise the demonstration microservice from the command line

What you need to know before you start

In order to get full benefit from taking this track you should know the basics of working with an edgeEngine microservice. 

The following track on Instruqt teaches the basics you need to know:

understanding Linux container architecture

Probably no technology has suffered more from a poor naming choice than containers. Unless you know better, when you hear the term container, you might think of a piece of software that runs on a computer as a standalone file representing an application. A container is anything but.

For those unaware of the details of container technology, particularly Docker container technology, the “little piece of code running on a machine” conceptualization is a common misunderstanding.

The objective of this track is to clear up this misunderstanding. In this track you’ll cover what a binary executable is and what a container is. Also you’ll learn why a binary executable and container are different. The scope of this track is confined to the Linux operating system, but everything said about Linux containers in this track is applicable to Windows too.

working with mDrive microservice

The objective of this track is to demonstrate how to install and use mimik’s mDrive microservice. The mDrive microservice enables sharing files between edge devices without having to store any file on a central server. In an mDrive scenario any edge device can act as a file repository.

This track assumes a basic familiarity working with microservices under edgeEngine. You can learn the basics by reading about the Key Concepts in the Developer Documentation on the mimik site found here.

let’s launch the course by

working with mDrive microservice

mDrive runs on the instance of edgeEngine hosted on the edge device. Microservices that run on edgeEngine run in a serverless environment. As such there is a single, universal HTTP server that accommodates any microservices running on the device. Developers do no need to install the HTTP server, it’s there already.

Interaction with the mDrive microservices is conducted via a predefined REST API that is exposed by the microservices. Both developers and independent consumers interact with a device’s mDrive via the REST API as shown in the figure below.

Developers don’t have to worry the mechanics of storing file and the metadata associated with a particular file. mDrive takes care of all of these storage details. All a developers need to be concerned with is defining the metadata and sending it along with the actual file to mDrive via the REST API.

You can view the mDrive API documentation here
