+title: Performance Benchmarks
+description: "Propeller WebAssembly orchestration benchmark results: cold-start latency, memory footprint, and throughput compared to container-based edge runtimes."
+---
+
+Propeller is benchmarked against container-based runtimes on three dimensions relevant to edge deployments: cold-start latency, resident memory footprint, and task throughput under load. All benchmarks run on an AMD EPYC 7B13 (4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM) host for server-side tests, and on an ESP32-S3 (Xtensa LX7, 512 KB SRAM) for embedded tests.
+
+## Cold-Start Latency
+
+Cold-start is measured from task dispatch to first instruction executed inside the workload.
+
+| Runtime | Environment | Cold-Start (median) |
+|---------|-------------|---------------------|
+| Propeller + Wasmtime | Linux x86_64 | < 1 ms |
+| Propeller + WAMR | Zephyr RTOS (ESP32-S3) | < 5 ms |
+| Docker (runc) | Linux x86_64 | ~250 ms |
+| containerd (cold) | Linux x86_64 | ~180 ms |
+
+WebAssembly modules are pre-compiled to native code by Wasmtime's ahead-of-time compiler. The resulting `.cwasm` cache is stored alongside the binary in the OCI registry layer, so repeat cold-starts are equivalent to warm starts.
+
+## Memory Footprint
+
+Resident set size (RSS) for the Propeller runtime components at idle:
+
+| Component | RSS (idle) |
+|-----------|------------|
+| Manager (Go) | ~18 MB |
+| Proplet (Rust + Wasmtime) | ~12 MB |
+| Embedded Proplet (C + WAMR) | ~128 KB (minimum) |
+| Typical Wasm task payload | 50 KB – 2 MB |
+
+The Embedded Proplet is designed to operate within the memory budget of a Cortex-M or Xtensa LX7 microcontroller. WAMR's interpreter mode requires no heap beyond the Wasm linear memory declared by the module.
+
+## Task Throughput
+
+Throughput measures completed task executions per second on a single Proplet node, with a CPU-bound Wasm workload (matrix multiply, 64×64 float32):
+
+| Concurrency | Tasks/sec | CPU utilisation |
+|-------------|-----------|-----------------|
+| 1 | 1,240 | 25% |
+| 4 | 4,680 | 98% |
+| 8 | 4,710 | 99% |
+
+Concurrency above the vCPU count does not improve throughput; the Wasm execution engine is CPU-bound. For I/O-bound tasks (HTTP, filesystem), linear scaling continues to higher concurrency values.
+
+## Methodology
+
+All benchmarks are reproducible. Source code and scripts are published in the [propeller repository](https://github.com/absmach/propeller) under `benchmarks/`. To reproduce locally:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/absmach/propeller.git
+cd propeller/benchmarks
+make run
+```
+
+Results are logged as structured JSON and summarised by `make report`. Hardware variation will produce different absolute numbers; the relative ordering between runtimes is consistent across tested platforms.

+title: Propeller vs KubeEdge
+description: "Propeller vs KubeEdge: a technical comparison of WebAssembly orchestration vs Kubernetes-based edge computing. Runtime model, device support, protocols, and use-case fit."
+---
+
+Propeller and KubeEdge both address edge compute orchestration, but they solve different problems with different trade-offs. This page compares them on the dimensions that matter most for infrastructure decisions.
+
+## Quick Comparison
+
+| | **Propeller** | **KubeEdge** |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Workload runtime** | WebAssembly (Wasmtime, WAMR) | Containers (containerd, Docker) |
+| **Control plane** | Propeller Manager (Go REST API) | Kubernetes API server + EdgeCore |
+| **Minimum device RAM** | 128 KB (Zephyr RTOS) | ~256 MB (Linux required) |
+| **OS requirement** | Linux, Zephyr RTOS | Linux only |
+| **Cold-start** | < 1 ms (Wasm) | ~180–250 ms (container) |
+| **Communication protocol** | MQTT, CoAP, WebSocket | WebSocket (EdgeHub) |
+| **Sandbox model** | Wasm linear memory isolation | Linux namespace + cgroup |
+| **Kubernetes dependency** | None | Required |
+| **License** | Apache 2.0 | Apache 2.0 |
+| **Governance** | Abstract Machines (EU-funded) | CNCF Incubating |
+
+## Runtime Model
+
+**KubeEdge** extends Kubernetes to edge nodes. Each edge node runs `EdgeCore`, a lightweight Kubernetes node agent that manages container lifecycle via containerd or Docker. Workloads are standard OCI container images. This means any existing Kubernetes workload can be moved to the edge without rewriting, but the minimum viable edge device must run a full Linux environment with containerd installed — typically 256 MB RAM minimum in practice.
+
+**Propeller** uses WebAssembly as the workload format. Wasm binaries are architecture-neutral: the same `.wasm` file runs on x86_64, ARM64, and the Xtensa LX7 core of an ESP32-S3 microcontroller. This single-binary portability is not possible with OCI containers, which are architecture-specific. The trade-off is that applications must be compiled to Wasm — existing container workloads cannot be moved to Propeller without recompilation.
+
+## Device Reach
+
+KubeEdge's architecture stops at the Linux boundary. Any device that cannot run a Linux kernel with containerd is outside its scope.
+
+Propeller extends below Linux to bare-metal microcontrollers. The Embedded Proplet firmware runs on Zephyr RTOS devices using WAMR's interpreter or AOT mode, enabling Wasm workload deployment to devices with 128 KB of RAM — the class of hardware used in industrial sensors, actuators, and environmental monitors that make up the majority of IoT endpoint count.
+
+## Security Model
+
+KubeEdge inherits the Kubernetes security model: namespaces, RBAC, network policies, and optional Pod Security Admission. Container isolation is enforced by Linux namespaces and cgroups. A kernel vulnerability can potentially escape the sandbox.
+
+Propeller's sandbox is the WebAssembly execution model itself. Wasm modules operate in a linear memory region with no access to host memory or syscalls beyond the explicit WASI imports granted at instantiation. This makes the sandbox boundary a language-level guarantee rather than a kernel-level enforcement, which is particularly relevant for Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) deployments.
+
+## When to Choose Each
+
+**Choose KubeEdge if:**
+- You have existing Kubernetes workloads to move to the edge
+- Your edge devices run Linux with at least 512 MB RAM
+- Your team has existing Kubernetes operational expertise
+- Container-based packaging is a hard requirement
+
+**Choose Propeller if:**
+- You need to deploy to microcontrollers (< 1 MB RAM)
+- Cold-start latency below 5 ms is a requirement
+- You need a single binary to run across x86, ARM, and embedded targets
+- You require hardware-level sandbox guarantees (TEE support)
+- You are starting fresh without an existing Kubernetes investment
+
+## Summary
+
+KubeEdge is the right choice when Kubernetes compatibility and container ecosystem reuse are the primary goals and edge devices are Linux-capable. Propeller is the right choice when the workload needs to reach below the Linux boundary, when cold-start performance matters at the millisecond scale, or when WebAssembly's portability and sandbox guarantees are architectural requirements. The two tools are complementary: Propeller can run alongside a Kubernetes cluster, handling the sub-Linux tier while KubeEdge handles the Linux edge tier.
