Lunatic is an open-source runtime inspired by Erlang that runs WebAssembly modules as lightweight, preemptively scheduled processes on server-side applications. It enables actor-based architectures with fault tolerance and capability-based security by combining Erlang's concurrency model with WebAssembly's sandboxing and isolation. Lunatic supports languages like Rust and AssemblyScript, and leverages Wasmtime and Wasmer for JIT compilation. It aims to simplify deployment, improve security by isolating application parts with capabilities, and enable polyglot, distributed, and plugin-based architectures. Use cases include building scalable, fault-tolerant backend systems with actor models and running third-party plugins safely.
