Existing Runtimes
Official runtime with Debian 11, Python 3.9 and NodeJS 14
Aleph.im provides users with a default runtime based on Debian 11 "bullseye", the current stable version of the Debian project which can be found on the Explorer. This runtime is built with software available in the distribution, including Python 3.9 and Nodejs 14.
To optimize performance, this runtime uses a custom Linux init process. This process is specially designed to quickly launch the right endpoint in response to events such as HTTP requests. This is especially useful when using on-demand execution.
