Hi Andrii, Could you please elaborate on the types of scenarios that this proposal would help users to troubleshoot and how the WASM byte code provided could be used to debug?
Thanks!

I would like to propose using the service as a foundation for listeners of the Graph life cycle events. It can look like the following: 1. User creates a service using the provided WASM byte code using a special step like registerService(name, wasmByteCode). 2. User registers the service as a listener for graph events. I think that could be events like vertex, edge lifecycle events, TX commit again using GraphTraversal commands. 3. During the generation of the event, a special traversal that contains only the affected elements is created, and the service is called upon it. Like `_.inject(elements).call()`. In practice, it is advised for each GLV to provide a specialized implementation of `registerService()` step that will compile the passed-in code into the WASM if possible. That is possible on Java, and I suppose it is possible for JavaScript at least. That will allow us to blur the difference between remote and embedded deployments, and for vendors that provide both variants to provide debugging tools for lifecycle listeners when users can test and debug implementation on their workstation and then deploy in production. WASM bytecode was intentionally designed for such use cases. I would be interested in opinions about this proposal, which is, of course, subject to a separate specification and many additional clarifications.
