IMHO, it's still a few years a early for pure-play Wasm solutions, though Fermyon is doing exceptional work to manifest that future.

My hope is that Unit can offer a pragmatic bridge: run your existing applications as-is, and when you want to sprinkle in some Wasm, we're ready. That's not to say Wasm is Unit's only use case, but do believe it's what will get people thinking about application servers again. :)

...and are there any reverse proxies, load balancers, or caches on the network path between your end user and your container? ;)

yes there are of course, but typically like an ALB from the cloud platform
