About:
Wasmtime is a high-performance, secure WebAssembly runtime maintained by the Bytecode Alliance. It enables running Wasm code outside of web browsers with near-native speed using its Cranelift compiler. It is designed for server-side applications, edge computing, and embedding into other languages.
Key Features:
  • Fast runtime via Cranelift JIT compilation
  • Secure sandboxing with WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) support
  • Lightweight and easily embeddable
Use Cases:
  • Running serverless functions at the edge
  • Safely executing untrusted code in multi-tenant environments
  • Extending existing applications with plugin systems
Alternatives:
  • node – Node.js is a JavaScript runtime, whereas Wasmtime runs WebAssembly binaries.
  • wasmer – Wasmer is a similar runtime, but Wasmtime is often noted for its tight integration with the Wasmtime ecosystem.
