Embedded Modules
The following modules are embedded within the On Prem Agent, as either a statically linked Rust-native implementation, or a Lua binding to Rust-native code.
This makes it possible to deploy Lua-based Lambdas and Lambda Triggers over the air that make use of latency-sensitive or security-sensitive modules for interacting with IoT busses or edge network endpoints.
Embedded Lua Modules
The following Lua modules are embedded in the On Prem agent:
| Module | Compute Kernel | LuaRocks Comparable API Reference | Features |

| crc16 | mlua-crc16 (Rust) | luacrc16 | Checksums |
| inspect | (pure Lua) | inspect | Stringify a Lua variable while debugging |
| json | mlua-json (Rust) | lua-cjson, lunajson | JSON serde support |
| kafka | mlua-kafka (Rust) | kafka |
