Definition

Binary instruction format that allows code written in multiple languages to run at near-native speed in web browsers and on servers. Like having a universal translator that lets different programming languages run anywhere efficiently.

Real-World Example

Game developers use WebAssembly to run complex 3D games in browsers with performance nearly matching native desktop applications.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies
