Learn WASMCLOUD with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 25, 2025
Performance Notes
Lightweight execution due to WebAssembly
Actors run isolated to prevent side effects
Event-driven architecture enables high throughput
Horizontal scaling by adding hosts to lattice
Minimal cold start latency compared to traditional serverless
Security Notes
Capability-based access control for each actor
Actors run in Wasm sandbox with limited system access
Claims specify exactly what an actor can do
Isolated memory prevents data leaks between actors
Supports secure communication between hosts in lattice
Monitoring Analytics
Use wasmCloud CLI logs for runtime monitoring
Integrate with Prometheus/Grafana for metrics
Monitor lattice message throughput
Inspect capability provider health
Profile Wasm module performance
Code Quality
Follow language-specific best practices for actors
Keep modules small and reusable
Define clear capabilities and claims
Test actors independently
Monitor performance and optimize Wasm size
