## What it is
Golem is an open-source durable agent runtime and serverless platform for running WebAssembly components in a distributed cloud environment. It lets developers build stateful AI agents in Rust, TypeScript, Scala, or MoonBit with automatic state persistence, exactly-once tool execution, and fault tolerance without managing infrastructure.

## Use cases
- build AI agents that survive crashes and redeploys
- run stateful serverless WebAssembly workers in the cloud
- ensure tool calls and side effects execute exactly once
- deploy durable distributed applications without building infrastructure
- host long-running agent workflows that await human approval for days
- self-host a durable execution platform on Docker or Kubernetes
- write typed agents in TypeScript or Rust instead of prompt orchestration

## When to choose
- you need durable, stateful AI agents with exactly-once guarantees
- you want to run WebAssembly components as fault-tolerant distributed workers
- you prefer code-first agents in typed languages over prompt-based frameworks
- you need long-running workflows that suspend cheaply while awaiting events
- you want a self-hostable alternative to managed serverless platforms

## When to avoid
- you need a simple stateless web API or CRUD backend
- your team has no WebAssembly or component-model experience and wants minimal tooling
- you only need basic LLM chat without durability or state guarantees
- you require a mature ecosystem with extensive third-party integrations
- you want to avoid a platform-specific runtime and vendor lock-in
