Wasmer is a _blazing fast_ and _secure_ [**WebAssembly**](https://webassembly.org) runtime that enables incredibly
_lightweight containers_ to run anywhere: from _Desktop_ to the _Cloud_, _Edge_ and your browser.

- **Secure** by default. No file, network, or environment access, unless explicitly enabled.
- **Pluggable**. supports [**WASIX**](https://wasix.org/), [WASI](https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI) out of the box.

- **Embeddable** [anywhere via Wasmer SDKs](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer/#wasmer-sdk)
