Planned changes to scheduling

The wasmCloud Q3 2025 Roadmap sets out plans for an overhaul to scheduling in the next major release of wasmCloud. The new scheduling API will not use NATS to communicate between components by default, but will still support distributed communication via NATS. For more information, see the Roadmap and Issue #4640: “Intentional distributed networking.”

Using wadm typically involves using the wash command line tool. However, you can also use wash's supporting library in your Rust application or interact with wadm directly over a NATS connection.

The following page on wadm API usage is an overview of the high-level functionality exposed by wadm. To see the corresponding commands in the wash CLI, issue the following command:

shell

wash app --help

Please refer the CLI reference of wash app for a detailed usage guide.
