 The use of WebAssembly has been growing over the last few years.
 To ensure Node.js continues to be part of solutions where a
 subset of the solution needs the performance that WebAssembly can
 deliver, Node.js must provide good support for running
 WebAssembly components along with the JavaScript that makes up the rest
 of the solution. This includes implementations of “host” APIs like WASI.

-
-Organizations will only choose technologies that allow them to sufficiently

-that we help them manage that risk. We must have a well-documented

+## Serverless
+
+Serverless is a cloud computing model where the cloud provider manages the
+underlyinginfrastructure and automatically allocates resources as
+needed. Developers only need to focus on writing code for specific
+functions, which are executed as individual units of work in response to
+events. Node.js is one of the main technology used by developers in
+this field therefore it is crucial for us to provide a great solution.
+
+## Small footprint
+
+Small software footprints refer to software that has a minimal impact on
+system resources such as memory and processing power. This can be achieved
+through various methods such as optimizing code, reducing the number of dependencies, or using lightweight frameworks. Smaller footprints can lead to faster startup times, reduced
+memory usage, and improved overall system performance. This is fundamental
+for Node.js to be a lightweight proposition inside the ecosystem as it is
+used across a wild variety of projects, from web application to IoT and
+serverless.

+## Developers-first DX
+
+Developer experience (DX) refers to the overall experience a developer has when
+working with a software development platform, framework, or tool. It encompasses
+all aspects of the developer's interactions with the system, from installation
+and configuration to writing code and debugging. A good DX prioritizes ease
+of use,efficiency, and productivity, and can lead to faster development times,
+higher quality code, and greater developer satisfaction. Factors that can
+impact DX include documentation, community support, testing tools,
+and integration with other systems.
