Why Wapka runs on Lua — the architectural decision behind it

Every platform makes a bet on its technology stack. Wapka’s bet was Lua. Here’s why it wasn’t just a good choice — it was the only choice that made the entire platform economically possible. The problem: multi-tenant code execution Wapka lets users write server-side scripts. That means arbitrary code from thousands of users runs on shared infrastructure. In most languages — Node.js, Python, PHP — running untrusted user code safely at scale requires containerization. Docker. MicroVMs. gVisor. These add memory overhead, startup latency, and cost. ...

Why Wapka's compute costs are near zero

The numbers tell the story. A Node.js process consumes roughly 30 megabytes of memory. A Python process: 20 megabytes. A Lua state inside LuaSandbox: 1 to 5 kilobytes. That three-order-of-magnitude difference is why Wapka can offer server-side scripting for free. The runtime economics When you let thousands of users run server-side code on shared infrastructure, the cost of each execution matters exponentially. At scale, memory and CPU are the dominant factors. ...

Your AI agent can now build and manage websites — here is how Wapka does it

Web platforms have been designed for humans — dashboards, buttons, form fields. But the next wave of web tooling isn’t human-first. It’s machine-readable. Wapka supports MCP — the Model Context Protocol. This means AI models can interact with your site directly. Not through a chat interface bolted on top. Through the same APIs and documentation that developers use. What MCP enables MCP is a protocol that allows AI models to connect with external tools and data sources. On Wapka, this means: ...
