In my view, the big promise of server-side WASM is to have an evergreen platform that doesn't need regular updates to the application. Just like HTML web pages work "forever" in browsers, WASM-based applications could work forever on the server-side. Currently it is a huge PITA to have to update and redeploy your AWS Lambda apps whenever a Node.js or Python version is deprecated. Of course, usually the old code "just works" in the new runtime version, but I don't want to have to worry about it every few years. I think applications should work forever if you want them to, and WASM combined with serverless like Lambda will provide the right kind of platform for that.
