Wasmer is a high‑performance WebAssembly runtime that provides fast, secure sandboxes for running applications. It can be used via a CLI, embedded SDKs for multiple languages, or directly in the browser.

Use cases

  • run Python or Node.js scripts in an isolated WebAssembly sandbox
  • embed a WebAssembly sandbox into a Rust, Go, or Python application
  • execute untrusted code safely on a serverless edge platform
  • test compiled binaries without installing full toolchains
  • deploy lightweight micro‑VMs for AI agents or serverless functions

When to choose

  • you need fast startup and low memory overhead for WebAssembly workloads
  • you require fine‑grained control over file, network, and environment access
  • you want a single runtime that works on desktop, server, and in the browser
  • you are building AI agents or serverless functions that benefit from sandbox isolation

When to avoid

  • your workload relies on native system calls not supported by WASI
  • you need a full operating system VM rather than a lightweight sandbox
  • you require deep integration with GPU drivers that are not yet exposed to Wasmer
