WebAssembly isn’t just for browsers. We ran some internal experiments with Wasm on the backend.
Use cases explored:
- Plugin systems for untrusted user logic
- Language-agnostic sandboxing
- Execution isolation in edge compute setups
We tried out:
- Wasmer for server-side execution
- Lucet for ahead-of-time compiled modules
Still early, but promising for multi-tenant scenarios and reducing cold starts.
