What if you could run ANY Node.js app unmodified, safely anywhere… without Docker, containers, or security headaches? 🔥 Introducing Edge.js • Fully compatible with Node.js • Sandboxed by design • Pluggable with any JS engine Node.js, but actually safe. And everywhere 👇

Apps are sandboxed using WebAssembly instead of Docker. Perfect for Agentic and serverless workloads. Built using @OpenAI Codex agents. Read more about the announcement here!

I don’t quite understand the use case. With Bun’s bytecode compilation ( ) I can already get fast startup and performance. If not using containers, how would I deploy such edge.js app?

This looks cool. Beyond sandboxing, is there a mechanism to intercept and virtualize things like the filesystem, networking, etc.?

Thanks! We have this for our Edge platform, but is not publicly released 🤗

Docker is not a headache

Agreed. Docker is a great piece of software that brought us where we are, and if you want to run apps affordably at scale, you can simply use other kind of sandboxing technologies! (such as Wasmer! 😉)

Cool! How can I test web-audio-api with it? Is that available in CI?

Great blog! I'm always curious how much you spend $ on doing this:

How do you benchmark the startup time? I’d like to verify myself the claims about container vs edgejs startup time :)

Well that’d be big if true

Running Node.js apps anywhere without Docker or security headaches? 🤯 Edge.js might change the game — sandboxed, portable, and fully compatible.

This is huge! Super excited about what you guys are building. I've already been building with it, and ran into this issue. Could you guys help take a look?

This + orchestration via systemd or pm2 is going to be killer

GitHub auth redirect after installing the plugin, signing in with GitHub, or importing your GitHub projects consistently fails, at least it does on mobile

edge.js is already the name of a template engine used by AdonisJS. What a shame of choosing this name

Introducing my newest app, TethrX, made with Grok 4.5 to access Grok Build on your phone. TethrX connects to Grok Build running on your own computer, so you can start a task from anywhere, follow Grok's reasoning as it works, approve every command before it runs, and review the code it writes. Your code never leaves your machine. The public TestFlight is now open, and a demonstration is below. You pair your phone by scanning a QR code, either on your local network or from anywhere through Tailscale. From there TethrX streams Grok's reasoning, tool calls, command output and file changes as they happen, and asks your approval before anything runs. Plan mode lets you read the plan before the work begins. When a task finishes you can review exactly what changed. TethrX lists the modified files in your project, shows a diff for each one, and lets you commit or discard the work without leaving your phone. The app supports slash commands, including /compact and any skills you have installed, along with voice dictation, queued messages and reusable prompts. Sessions can be searched and organised into folders, and you can pair several computers and switch between them. Siri can start a task or tell you what Grok is doing without opening the app, a home screen widget shows whether Grok is working, and a Live Activity tracks progress on your lock screen and Dynamic Island. Every session reports its context window, token usage and cost, the app can be locked behind Face ID, and your computer is kept awake for as long as a task is running. TethrX requires Grok Build installed and signed in on your computer, together with Node.js 20 or newer. A single command starts the bridge: npx tethrx-bridge TethrX is open source under the Apache License 2.0. Both the iOS client and the local bridge are available here: Grok 4.5 helped a lot, thanks to SpaceXAI for making Grok 4.5 exceptional.
