Wasmer

Wasmer is a Serverless & Edge Runtime company founded in 2018 and based in San Francisco, United States.

Wasmer, founded in 2018 in San Francisco by Syrus Akbary, builds a fast and secure WebAssembly runtime that lets developers run lightweight, sandboxed applications anywhere from desktop to cloud to edge and browser. On top of the open-source runtime and the Wasmer package registry, the company offers Wasmer Edge, a serverless cloud platform that runs apps as WebAssembly workloads with millisecond cold starts and built-in security via Wasm sandboxing, and maintains WASIX, an extension of the WebAssembly System Interface. The company is a Y Combinator alumnus backed by investors including Soma Capital and 468 Capital, with Docker co-founder Solomon Hykes among its angels.

Wasmer is a leading independent WebAssembly runtime betting that Wasm becomes the portable, instantly-scaling unit of serverless edge compute, an approach competing with V8-isolate runtimes like Cloudflare Workers and Deno.
