I came across the IPVM project a while ago and this is cool to see it getting used. Is there a similar effort that uses containers instead of WASM? I'd love to write a json workflow filled out with containers and similar use of "this process needs the output of that that process"

Hi, I'm a co-author of the post linked here.

We're currently focused on Wasm, as deterministic Wasm compute is a major push for us (which is also a major part of IPVM), but we've had container-driven and mixed Wasm/container workloads on our larger roadmap too. So, eventually :).

We're also working on registry-like plans for function and workflow reuse, which should alleviate always having to write/implement Wasm components from scratch.
