Fluent Bit supports custom processing via C plugins or Lua, but learning new languages can be difficult. The new Fluent Bit plugin for WebAssembly (WASM) offers a flexible alternative.

WASM enhances performance, security, and flexibility by enabling custom processing in languages like Go, Rust, and C++. Fluent Bit’s WASM plugin allows users to implement high-speed, scalable, and custom data transformations for advanced use cases.
