Built for efficient and reliable business software

Rust helps us prevent memory errors

Software uses a computer's memory to hold information while it works. Mistakes in handling that memory can cause crashes or create security weaknesses.

Rust checks many of these mistakes before the software runs. Its ownership and borrowing rules help prevent problems such as using memory after it has been released. Safe Rust also helps prevent data races, where overlapping access to shared information creates unsafe behaviour.^{1, 2}

Rust is also designed for speed and memory efficiency. This makes it a useful foundation for business services that need to process requests and manage resources carefully.¹

WebAssembly provides a controlled place to run

WebAssembly, often called Wasm, is a portable format for running compiled software. It can be used on servers as well as in web browsers.³

A Wasm component runs inside a restricted environment called a sandbox. Think of it as a separate workroom with controlled doors. Access to the surrounding system goes through the interfaces provided by its host. This adds a boundary between the component and the server around it.⁴

Spin runs the right service for the job

Spin is a framework for building and running applications made of WebAssembly components. These components can respond to events, such as a website request or a message from another system.⁵

This supports an application structure in which different components handle different jobs. Permissions can define which files and outside services a component may access. For example, outgoing HTTP requests are blocked by default until the required destinations are permitted.^{6, 7}
