NECTAR RUNTIME

The execution engine.

Compiles, snapshots, and runs your WASM workloads with hardware-level isolation. Wasmtime 40 under the hood.

HOW IT WORKS

Three stages. Zero cold starts.

{ }

Compile

Your source code compiles to a WASM component via WASI 0.2. Rust, Go, Python, JS, C -- any language that targets WASM. Nectar validates the binary and extracts typed interfaces.

Snapshot

Nectar pre-initializes the module, runs startup code, then freezes the entire linear memory into a snapshot. Subsequent boots restore from this frozen image in under 800 microseconds.

Execute

Requests arrive, the snapshot restores, your handler runs in a sandboxed linear memory space with instruction-level fuel metering. Scale to zero when idle. No wasted cycles.

PERFORMANCE

Numbers that matter.
