Wasmer
🧩
WebAssembly everywhere.
fortrabbit is a Wasmer alternative when you want to host PHP websites without the complexity of WebAssembly.
About Wasmer
Wasmer is a WebAssembly runtime and edge computing platform that allows running WebAssembly applications across different environments. It focuses on portable execution through WASM, enabling developers to run code compiled from various languages at the edge. The platform emphasizes universal binary compatibility and global distribution of lightweight containers.
While innovative for WebAssembly-based applications and edge computing scenarios, Wasmer requires adapting your stack to WebAssembly paradigms. This makes sense for specific use cases but adds complexity if you're primarily building traditional web applications with PHP.
Why fortrabbit
fortrabbit takes a different approach with a higher grade of abstraction specifically for PHP. No need to compile to WebAssembly or adapt your workflow to new runtimes. Just deploy your PHP code directly.
We provide native support for Composer, MySQL integration, and all the tools PHP developers actually use. Traditional PHP frameworks like Laravel, Symfony, or WordPress work out of the box. Git push to deploy, no container wrestling required.
If you're building standard PHP websites and applications, fortrabbit offers the straightforward path without unnecessary complexity.
