wasmex
A fast and secure WebAssembly and WASI runtime for Elixir, enabling lightweight WebAssembly containers in your backend.
What is wasmex?
Wasmex is a WebAssembly and WASI runtime for Elixir that enables developers to execute lightweight WebAssembly containers within their Elixir backend. It provides a secure, sandboxed environment for running user-provided code and facilitates sharing business logic across different programming language ecosystems. The project leverages the wasmtime runtime for fast, near-native execution of WebAssembly binaries.
Elixir backend developers who need to safely execute untrusted code, integrate WebAssembly modules, or share logic with systems written in other languages like JavaScript, Rust, or C/C++. It is also suitable for teams building cross-language applications where WebAssembly serves as a common compilation target.
Developers choose Wasmex for its secure sandboxing, which isolates WebAssembly execution in a memory-safe environment ideal for untrusted code, and its seamless integration with the Elixir ecosystem via a simple Elixir API. Its use of wasmtime ensures high performance, while WASI support enables system-level interactions, making it a robust solution for embedding WebAssembly in Elixir backends.
