summary
WASM does not replace Docker but complements it: WASM gives near‑native speed, sandboxed security, and much faster startup times, while Docker provides packaging, portability and the familiar docker pull/push workflow. Docker supports running WASM images alongside Linux and Windows containers by using OCI‑compliant shims to plug in runtimes like WasmEdge, Spin, Wasmtime, so existing Dockerfiles can copy a WASM binary and run it with the same push/pull/desktop tooling.
