WASM NATIVE

The runtime built for the post-container era.\nNative WASI 0.2, dual-engine routing, sub-millisecond cold starts.

THE PARADIGM SHIFT

WHAT IS WASM-NATIVE?

TRADITIONAL CONTAINERS

Ship an entire OS layer, libraries, and runtime. Gigabytes of redundancy. Minutes to cold start at scale. Security requires layered workarounds.

OS layer

Libraries
Your code
~150 MB
typical container image
WASM-NATIVE

Ship only your compiled logic. The runtime provides everything else through capability-based interfaces. Sandboxed by design. Instant cold starts.

Your code
342 KB
compiled WASM module
450x
smaller than a typical container image.
That is not a typo.
THE STANDARD

THE WASI STANDARD.

YOUR CODE
Rust, Go, Python, JS, C, Swift
COMPONENT MODEL
Type-safe interfaces between modules
WASI 0.2 PREVIEW INTERFACES
filesystem, sockets, http, clocks, random
SANDBOX BOUNDARY
Capability-based. No ambient authority. No escape.
Component Model
Modules declare typed imports and exports. No more ABI mismatches. Compose components like Lego.
Preview2 Interfaces
Standardized APIs for HTTP, filesystem, sockets, clocks, and random. Write once, run on any compliant host.
Capability-Based Security
No ambient authority. Every resource must be explicitly granted. A module cannot access what it was not given.

YOUR LANGUAGE. OUR RUNTIME.

Write in the language you know. Compile to WASM. Deploy everywhere.

Rust
FIRST CLASS
Native WASI 0.2 target. Zero overhead. The gold standard.
Go
FIRST CLASS
TinyGo compiler. Goroutines work. Standard library supported.
Python
SUPPORTED
Componentize-py. Full CPython via WASI. pip packages work.
JavaScript
SUPPORTED
StarlingMonkey runtime. Node.js APIs via WASIX. npm compatible.
C / C++
SUPPORTED
wasi-sdk. Compile any C/C++ to WASM. Existing codebases just work.
Swift
EXPERIMENTAL
SwiftWasm project. Foundation APIs available. Growing ecosystem.
COLD START BENCHMARK
