How Datastripes Leverages WebAssembly for Privacy and Performance
At Datastripes, we set out to solve a common problem: how can we provide powerful data analysis tools without compromising user privacy? Most data tools require users to upload sensitive data to a server, which introduces privacy risks and dependency on external infrastructure.
Our solution? WebAssembly (WASM). By compiling our entire data engine—including a full analytical database—to WebAssembly, we enable all data processing to happen client-side, directly in the browser. This means your data never leaves your machine, giving you the privacy and ownership of a self-hosted solution without the complexity of managing servers or Docker containers.

Why WebAssembly?
WebAssembly is a game-changer for web applications that require high performance. It allows us to run near-native code in the browser, making it possible to handle complex data processing tasks efficiently. Here’s why we chose WASM for Datastripes:
The Future of Privacy-Focused Web Apps
We believe client-side processing powered by WebAssembly is the future for privacy-focused web applications. It combines the best of both worlds: the convenience of modern web apps and the privacy of self-hosted solutions.
At Datastripes, we’re excited to be at the forefront of this shift. By leveraging WASM, we’re making data analysis accessible, secure, and performant for everyone—from freelancers to small businesses.
