WebContainers, developed by StackBlitz, are a browser-based runtime environment that enables the execution of Node.js applications and operating system commands directly within a web browser tab. This technology allows developers to build instant, interactive coding experiences, from tutorials to full-fledged integrated development environments, without the need for local setups or cloud-based virtual machines. By running entirely client-side, WebContainers offer unmatched user experiences with zero latency, offline capabilities, and enhanced security, as they eliminate the risks associated with server-side code execution. They support native Node.js toolchains, including npm, pnpm, and yarn, and are compatible with major modern frameworks. Additionally, WebContainers facilitate the running of WebAssembly (Wasm) out of the box, allowing for the porting of various languages and frameworks to the browser environment.
