Description

V8 isolates are what cloudflare workers are built on https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/learning/how-workers-works

As cloudflare is becoming the monopoly of the web, it would be nice for an open-source alternative to their lightweight serverless function/worker model using v8 isolates.

I'd imagine this could be done as a nomad driver and then allow nomad tasks to be specified as wasm or javascript to run on that nomad driver.

This would eliminate the need for something more heavy weight like openfaas

Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified. Begin by reviewing Nomad's driver model and the proposed V8-isolate, JavaScript, and WebAssembly task behavior; done would require an agreed design and a working driver specification.
