WasmCloud is a framework for cloud-native, actor-based applications using WebAssembly.

It offers secure, portable, and scalable microservices.

Supports multiple languages, capability-based security, and decentralized messaging.

Ideal for edge computing, IoT, and cloud-native backend applications.

Actors are isolated, composable, and can run anywhere Wasm is supported.

Can I write actors in languages other than Rust?

Yes, any language that compiles to WebAssembly can be used.

Is WasmCloud suitable for frontend development?

No, it is primarily backend and edge-focused.

Does WasmCloud provide database capabilities?

Yes, via capability providers for databases like Redis or Postgres.

Can actors communicate across hosts?

Yes, via the lattice messaging system.

Is WasmCloud production-ready?

Yes, used in edge computing and cloud-native deployments.
