Tags: runtime, wasm, distributed-systems

Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Numax is a portable runtime written in Rust that runs WebAssembly modules with an embedded key/value datastore, syncing state across nodes using CRDTs and gossip. It aims to simplify distributed application development by keeping the runtime tiny and state local, making it an interesting alternative to heavier container and orchestrator-based approaches.

Target audience: backend devs
