Overview

We are working on the software that will power the next generation of Cloud Computing (Edge Computing) platforms using WebAssembly.

You can see us as a mix between Docker (but 100x more performant in startup time, and with 100x more lightweight containers), npm (we released the first WebAssembly package manager: wapm.io) and the JVM (but more universal).
