Execution environment for securely running and integrating WebAssembly modules, focusing on sandboxing, performance, and host APIs.
A WebAssembly runtime is an execution environment that loads, validates and securely runs Wasm modules, providing memory management, import/export interfaces and host APIs. It mediates between isolated module code and the host, balancing performance and sandboxing. Use cases span browsers, server-side runtimes and edge platforms.
Time from module load to ready execution.
Processed requests or operations per second within the runtime.
Memory and CPU consumption per module/instance.
Frontend modules compiled to Wasm run in the browser runtime to accelerate performance-critical tasks.
Using a native Wasm runtime to run isolated microservices and plugins on servers.
Edge platforms use Wasm runtimes to execute custom logic close to the user.
Define requirements and API contracts.
Build Wasm modules and perform integration tests.
Select runtime, configure it and integrate into CI/CD.
Set up monitoring, alerts and periodic security audits.
