Make anvil backend as fast as nodejs / laravel octane

Dear Anvil team,

I have been using Anvil for about 14 months and everything is just perfect. It is a joy to works with Anvil. The pleasure that I rarely have over last 20 years programming.

However, I spend last few weeks to make my anvil app run fast on Open source server and hit the limit. I can make about 100ms response but one server can only handle 1/10 requests that nodejs / laravel octane can do on the same server.

The only reason I cannot recommend Anvil to others is the fact that its backend is not as fast as nodejs / laravel octane.

Somehow WebAssembly is used for backend now and it seems that Anvil can do that as well.

Thanks so much for the hard work of the team.
