WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. Wasm enables developers to use existing code from programming languages, such as C, C++ and Rust as part of their application development process. However, Wasm is not just for the web, and today is moving in exciting new directions. For example, one use-case would be to run Wasm code in a database system on the data already stored in the database system — an example of co-locating computation with data. Using Wasm to extend the capabilities of a database system opens up opportunities to develop many new applications. SingleStoreDB supports Wasm through Code Engine and, in this article, we’ll see how to build a Wasm UDF to perform sentiment analysis on data already stored in SingleStoreDB.
