IGNITE: Serving Server-Side WASM with Web Awareness with
summary
NGINX Unit now embeds a server-side Wasm runtime (using Wasmtime) so HTTP routing, TLS, reverse proxy and request context stay in the web tier while compiled Wasm modules run sandboxed with linear memory in the application tier. The build targets roughly eight languages, yields much smaller binaries and near-native startup (one cited case hits 95% of native speed), supports on‑the‑fly code swaps, and is published on GitHub under the Apache license.
