Partner with world class WebAssembly experts to advise you through your exploration and adoption journey.
WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm), is an open, portable, and secure low-level bytecode format aimed at enabling high performance applications on the web. Its focus on efficiency, safety and portability unlocks compelling new possibilities for high performance web-based applications, legacy modernisation initiatives and next-generation application architecture.
We’ve been working with Wasm for the last decade (since before it was standardised!). Our team has been instrumental in the exploration and adoption of WebAssembly across multiple public and private sector clients including Fortune 100 companies and Government agencies.
We can help you evaluate whether WebAssembly is a good fit for your use case, and partner on exploration or implementation projects to help bring your vision to life.
The Wasm specification is an open web standard developed by the W3C WebAssembly Working Group; this means that all major browsers today support Wasm, and it has a growing ecosystem of use cases in server-side and embedded environments.
On the browser, Wasm enables secure-by-default execution of code compiled from other programming languages with near-native performance. It enables applications that could not previously run on the web to run on modern browsers. Wasm is designed to complement and run alongside JavaScript, offering full interoperability between JS and Wasm for hybrid client-side application architectures.
Wasm is a compilation target, meaning that source code written in other programming languages is compiled (typically ahead-of-time) to a Wasm module which contains wasm bytecode. The Wasm module is then executed on a Wasm runtime, such as the browser-embedded Wasm virtual machine.
Wasm is great for bringing native code to the web. This could be for newly developed applications with performance critical client-side workloads, using existing libraries written in native languages, or porting entire applications to the web while preserving existing source code. Wasm can also be used to build portable modules for server-side or edge-execution on any Wasm runtime.
Wasm’s advantages include code reuse, fast and predictable performance, portability, secure-by-default sandboxed execution, and that it is language agnostic - you can use wasm from any programming languages. This combination of capabilities enables transformative new options for web applications and modernisation projects.
