Happy New Year, Fermyon Friends! If 2024 was any indication, then 2025 will be another fantastic year. Here are some of last year’s highlights.
- Spin passed 250,000 downloads, while the SpinKube operator was downloaded over 80,000 times (even though we just introduced it in March).
- Unsurprisingly, our two most popular blog posts were the one announcing Spin 3 and the one announcing SpinKube.
- In March, Fermyon joined ZEISS and Microsoft on the KubeCon keynote stage to talk about how Wasm serverless functions can scale instantly and cut operational cost.

Noisiest KubeCon booth (MQTT demo winner)
At KubeCon, we built a fun noise detecting app that ran on tiny computers at multiple booths inside the Salt Lake City expo hall. So who had the noisiest booth? Ampere!
Located beneath a big speaker, the Ampere booth picked up the most noise in the conference hall.

So long, 2024. Hello, 2025!
This year we introduced SpinKube, released a major update to Spin, and got to experience some truly remarkable moments as we saw what you all are building atop serverless WebAssembly.
We are looking forward to the New Year. We’ve certainly got a lot in the works, and are looking forward to sharing some big news at KubeCon London!
