wasmCloud

wasmCloud is a cloud native platform for running WebAssembly workloads across any cloud, Kubernetes, datacenter, or edge.​

The wasmCloud project is open source and Incubating with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

The platform​

The wasmCloud platform consists of three primary parts:

  • Wasm Shell (wash) CLI: A development tool for building and publishing WebAssembly components with languages including Go, TypeScript, Rust, and more.
  • Runtime (wash-runtime): An easy-to-use runtime and workload API for executing WebAssembly components, with built-in support for WASI interfaces.
  • Kubernetes Operator (runtime-operator): An operations tool that runs wasmCloud infrastructure on Kubernetes.

Component developers use the Wasm Shell (wash) CLI to develop and publish components, and the runtime-operator integrates wasmCloud with Kubernetes.
