**[City, State] – [Date]** – Wasmer Edge, the leading platform for running WebAssembly at the edge, has just announced the technical preview of Volumes, a new feature that enables persistent data storage for stateful applications. This game-changing feature opens up a whole new world of possibilities for Wasmer Edge, allowing developers to deploy a wide range of applications that previously couldn’t run on the platform due to the lack of persistent data storage.

Previously, all workloads executed in Wasmer Edge were limited to ephemeral data, making it unsuitable for applications requiring long-term storage, such as blogging platforms that need to store uploaded images and assets. Now, with Volumes, developers can store data that persists between deployments and even when applications are paused.

“Volumes are a key building block for supporting a wide range of new workloads, such as object storage, or any full-stack applications that require long-term storage,” said Syrus Akbary, Founder and CEO of Wasmer.

**Key Features of Wasmer Edge Volumes:**

* **Low Latency and High Throughput:** Volumes run on the same datacenter as applications, ensuring fast data access and high throughput.
* **S3-Compatible Server:** Each Volume is exposed through an S3-compatible server with its own S3 credentials, allowing access from anywhere.
* **Regionally Distributed:** Currently, volumes are regionally distributed within the North America region. Global distribution is in development.
* **Free During Technical Preview:** Volumes are free to use during the technical preview period.

**Unlocking New Possibilities:**

With the introduction of Volumes, Wasmer Edge becomes a more versatile platform, enabling the deployment of a wide range of applications, including:

* **Blogging Platforms:** Store uploaded images and assets.
* **Object Storage:** Provide scalable and secure object storage services.
* **Full-Stack Applications:** Support applications requiring persistent data storage.

This is just the beginning. Wasmer Edge plans to expand its template catalog to further simplify the deployment of stateful services.
