Bacalhau Beta v1: WASM Support, Simplified UX and Better Reliability
Bacalhau v1 Beta release and supported features.
Bacalhau is a distributed compute network where users can run arbitrary docker containers and Wasm images against data stored in IPFS. The Bacalhau API has moved from `alpha` to `beta`, and the platform now has, support for Wasm, improved network reliability, native Filecoin support, among other new features.
Bacalhau aims to improve how people interact with large amounts of data by providing distributed, content-addressed compute capabilities for everyone.
This project has been adopted by lots of researchers and entrepreneurs for a variety of purposes, including processing real-time CCTV data, accelerating scientific progress, and much more.
Based on our user feedback, we are introducing a breadth of new features to help people adopt compute over data. The project's roadmap includes the release of:
Python SDK and SDKs for our API in some other languages too
FIL+ Dashboard
Initial simulator framework
Improved examples
A draft invocation spec in collaboration with the CoD ecosystem
Networking design
Trusted Execution Environment design
An initial game theoretic analysis of the Bacalhau protocol.
