Fermyon

Fermyon Technologies is a pioneering software development company at the forefront of WebAssembly (Wasm) cloud computing. Recently acquired by Akamai, Fermyon has built a comprehensive ecosystem of tools and platforms that enable developers to create, deploy, and run serverless applications with unprecedented speed and efficiency. Their flagship open-source project, Spin, serves as a CNCF developer framework and CLI for building fast Wasm applications, while SpinKube enables teams to operate Spin apps within Kubernetes environments. The company offers multiple deployment options to suit different organizational needs, including Fermyon Cloud for serverless hosting, Fermyon Platform for Kubernetes for enterprise-scale deployments, and the newly launched Wasm Functions running on Akamai Cloud's globally distributed network. Fermyon's technology promises significant advantages over traditional cloud computing approaches, including dramatically smaller application sizes (megabytes versus hundreds of megabytes), near-instantaneous cold starts measured in milliseconds, and automatic scale-to-zero capabilities that reduce compute costs and environmental impact. Fermyon maintains strong partnerships with industry leaders including Microsoft Azure, SUSE, and Maxima Consulting, demonstrating enterprise-level credibility. Their commitment to open source is evident through their CNCF-affiliated projects and their adherence to the WASI standard, ensuring broad language support for developers working in Rust, Go, Python, JavaScript, .NET, and other mainstream programming languages.
