In AWS Lambda you can run arbitrary processes in their serverless service e.g. my company runs ffmpeg in Lambda. Why does this have to be WASM in javascript engine? Why can't they just run sqlite by javascript forking to a C++ process (or using sqlite binding of javascript)? Is this a POC for wasm?
