Description

As outlined in #116, WASM could be very useful for edge-computing services. Since many of the bazel files are likely to live in S3, redis or other similar layers, it would likely save money, time and effort if users could hit a local edge point, a WASM module starts up, runs the tasks, then powers down. Since these kind of services would be data transformations the compute and resources would likely be low.

Research direction

Start by reading issue #116 and mapping how Bazel files and the existing service interact with S3 or Redis. Define the WASM edge-execution scope, including startup, task execution, shutdown, and data transformation behavior; the work is done when a concrete compatible binary and its edge deployment path are specified and validated.
