Golem

Golem is an open-source durable computing platform for building agents and distributed applications that never lose state. You deploy WebAssembly components and invoke durable serverless workers through a REST API; the runtime transparently persists every worker's execution so it survives crashes, restarts, and redeploys. Golem ships as open source you self-host and as the managed Golem Cloud hosted service.

Golem publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including ApiDefinition API, Component API, Plugin API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Durable Computing, Serverless, WebAssembly, Workers, and Agents.

The Golem catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Golem’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
