Problem
WebAssembly developers often lack visibility into the behavior and security characteristics of their modules, making it difficult to ensure compatibility, diagnose issues, and enforce security policies. Existing tools offer limited capabilities for auditing, validating, and debugging WebAssembly binaries throughout the development lifecycle.
Solution
Dylibso provides a suite of tools, including Modsurfer and Extism, designed to empower developers and operations teams with comprehensive analysis, validation, and observability for WebAssembly modules. Modsurfer offers a system of record and diagnostics application, enabling users to search, browse, and investigate modules through a GUI or CLI. Extism functions as a universal plugin system, allowing users to make all software programmable and providing a framework for building with WebAssembly. These tools facilitate secure and efficient management of WebAssembly applications across various environments, from development to production.
Target Audience
The primary users are WebAssembly developers, SRE, DevOps engineers, and security teams who require tools for analyzing, validating, and monitoring WebAssembly modules throughout their lifecycle.
