Why WASM: Quickstart

  • WASM stands for Web Assembly; a tool to create web-based applications with a language other than JavaScript.
  • WASM allows developers to use the language of their choice to build applications.
  • WASM allows engineers to build binaries that can be run on different Instruction Set Architectures.
  • WASM workloads can be much faster than containerized applications and have a smaller form factor.
  • WASM is memory-safe and sandboxed by default, ensuring higher security standards.
  • WASM can be used for both server-side and browser-based applications.
  • WASM is independent of underlying hardware, and WASI figures out how and where it should run.
  • WASM was created to allow developers to build web-based applications using any language they choose.
  • WASM workloads can run on different Instruction Set Architectures and still perform well.
  • WASM is versatile as it allows different codebases in different languages to work together in the same application stack.
