About:
WasmEdge is a high-performance WebAssembly (Wasm) runtime optimized for edge computing, including edge clouds, devices, and embedded systems. It supports WASI standards and can run Wasm code at near-native speed, making it ideal for modern cloud-native applications.
Key Features:
  • High-performance execution
  • WASI (WebAssembly System Interface) support
  • Extensible via plugins
  • Runs on CPUs and GPUs
Use Cases:
  • Serverless functions on the edge
  • Plugin systems for applications
  • AI inference workloads
Alternatives:
  • wasmtime – A general-purpose runtime by the Bytecode Alliance
  • nodejs – JavaScript runtime, heavier footprint than WasmEdge
