Wasmtime is a standalone JIT-style runtime for WebAssembly (Wasm), enabling developers to run Wasm modules outside of web browsers. As a high-performance, secure, and embeddable runtime, Wasmtime is relevant to the tech community for its potential to bring the benefits of Wasm, such as platform independence and sandboxing, to a wide range of applications, from serverless computing and cloud infrastructure to embedded systems and beyond, allowing developers to build more efficient, scalable, and secure software systems.
