This runtime is designed to take advantage of WebAssembly's small footprint, secure sandbox, speed, and portability to allow developers to write boilerplate-free code that embraces the [actor model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor_model) and abstracts away dependencies on [non-functional requirements](https://www.scaledagileframework.com/nonfunctional-requirements/) via well-defined [interfaces](https://github.com/wasmCloud/interfaces/).\n\nThis host runtime is written in Elixir and extensively leverages the decades of work, testing, and improvements that have gone into the **OTP** framework. There are a number of excellent Elixir and OTP references online, but we highly recommend starting with the [Pragmatic Programmers](https://pragprog.com/categories/elixir-phoenix-and-otp/) Elixir and OTP library of books.\n\nTo get started with installation and exploration, check out the [getting started](https://wasmcloud.dev/overview/getting-started/) section of our documentation.\n\nThe wasmCloud Host Runtime is made up of two pieces:\n\n- The Host Core\n- Dashboard Web UI\n\n## Host Core\n\nThe **host core** consists of all of the \"headless\" (no UI) functional components of the system. This OTP application and its contained supervision tree represent the _core_ of the wasmCloud OTP host runtime.\n\nYou can find the [host core](./host_core/README.md) in this github repository.\n\n## Dashboard Web UI\n\nThe dashboard web UI (often colloquially referred to as the _washboard_) is a **Phoenix** application that fits snugly atop the host core, providing real-time web access to a variety of information, telemetry, and insight while also exposing a graphical interface to controlling the host and portions of the lattice.\n\nYou can find the [dashboard UI](./wasmcloud_host/README.md) in this github repository.\n\n### NATS\n\nAll of wasmCloud's _lattice_ functionality requires the use of [NATS](https://nats.io). To learn more, check out the [lattice](https://wasmcloud.dev/reference/lattice/) section of our documentation.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FwasmCloud%2Fwasmcloud-otp","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FwasmCloud%2Fwasmcloud-otp","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FwasmCloud%2Fwasmcloud-otp/lists"}
