Running Drupal on WebAssembly: Enhancing CMS Management

Staff Reporter

Running Drupal on the Edge with WebAssembly

Matt Glaman's recent blog post explores the innovative potential of running Drupal on WebAssembly (WASM), as introduced during Dries Buytaert's State of Drupal presentation at DrupalCon Portland. The "Starshot" initiative aims to transform Drupal by enabling users to launch and manage Drupal CMS directly from their browsers without servers.

Matt details his demo site creation using PHP WASM, addressing technical challenges such as handling HTTP requests with service workers and dynamically loading PHP extensions. This approach enhances Drupal's accessibility and usability, allowing complex sites to run on the edge.
