Show HN: Pollen – distributed WASM runtime, no control plane, single binary | Hacker News

Pollen is a single-binary distributed WebAssembly runtime that shares and executes workloads across nodes over a QUIC-based peer-to-peer mesh.

It aims to provide local routing and shared execution without a centralized control plane, making cluster setup lightweight.

The discussion highlighted current limits around stateless functions, memory and CPU ceilings, autoscaling, and back-pressure.

Potential uses include homelab clusters, static content serving, RPC-backed pipelines, and some Tailscale-like networking use cases.
