• Lightning Web Runtime on Node.js

Lightning Web Runtime (LWR) enables you to build digital experiences that meet the high scale, security, and performance demands of modern web applications. LWR at its simplest is a non-opinionated way to configure and load the modules, services, and dependency providers you need to build a JavaScript app. You can deploy on a variety of runtime environments, depending on your use case. For example, LWR works in a local Node.js runtime, or as a standalone instance in Heroku.

LWR describes any configurable aspects of the application in a well-defined, portable format.
