I see that there's some skepticism about running WebAssembly in containers and how it constitutes a next-gen serverless solution. It's important to note that the use of WebAssembly here is not just about the runtime environment but also about the features it brings. WebAssembly binaries can start up significantly faster than traditional VMs or containers. They also have a strong isolation model and security sandbox that allows running multiple tenants in the same supervisor, which can lead to reduced costs and better utilization of resources

Java servlets in application servers, and IIS CLR Handlers, WebAssembly sales pitch is so 2001.

Except you run a separate tomcat instance per app or better yet, embedded tomcat anyway.
