also i'd note one more thing which is the WASM API is going to give us an opportunity to add more enterprise value.

i.e.: think GDPR compliance as long as your data streams are in JSON or some predefined format.

WASM basically allows us to push computational guarantees to the storage engine itself without a separate cluster.

Is there a blog post or docs showing using WASM? I searched your site but couldn't find details.

I've failed to grasp if it's an "alternative plugin-engine" kind of system to extend Redpanda, or you're storing data as WASM and therefore it's executable (to take your example: GDPR compliant auto-expire if it's past a certain date).

Thanks -- I had never considered using webassembly in this way, so I thought it was something different.
