Wasmer Builds Edge.js in 2 Weeks, Bringing Full Node.js to the Edge
1 articles · Updated · OpenAI · Jun 3
Summary
Two weeks of work with OpenAI Codex let Wasmer ship Edge.js, a WebAssembly-based runtime that runs Node.js workloads at the edge without Docker.
That timeline compares with roughly one year without AI, and CEO Syrus Akbary Nieto said Codex lifted development speed by 10x to 20x.
Codex was used from architecture through final polishing, helping trace bugs, find root causes and debug at low levels including assembly and C++ subtleties.
The launch makes Wasmer the first cloud host to offer full Node.js at the edge layer and strengthens its push to let developers run JavaScript apps, MCPs and agents across local and global environments.
