Skimming through it, I think they mean they've created a PaaS that would run your code (i.e., platform for "serverless" apps). But under the hood your code will not be started as a docker container & stuff but rather compiled to WASM allowing them to reduce the overhead. They've created an open-source tool for pushing your code to their proprietary platform and it's already got 1000 stars on Github. They are a remote company that, obviously, hires people (including women & minorities) in different time zones. They're using Slack for communication.

Thanks, TechCrunch...
