Porffor is a new JavaScript engine that compiles JS to WebAssembly and native binaries, resulting in significantly smaller and faster binaries compared to existing solutions like Node and Bun. Benchmarks show that Porffor outperforms Node and LLRT in cold start times on AWS Lambda, making it a promising alternative despite its early development stage and limited compatibility. The author invites interested parties to explore Porffor for small Lambda applications as it continues to improve.
