# Runtime Release

The **WEM Runtime** is the environment that **executes your applications** and serves them to end users. It interprets the Portal Definitions created in the Modeler and turns them into live, responsive web applications.\
Runtime releases focus on **platform stability, performance, security, and foundational features** required by upcoming Modeler updates.

#### **Update process**

Runtime updates are automatically performed by WEM on all **shared cloud environments**.\
For **private cloud installations**, Runtime updates are carried out by the project's **technical partner**, following the guidelines provided by WEM.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wem.io/platform/release-notes/runtime-release.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
