Let me first say that the available documentation is pretty sparse. For example, proxy-wasm's is limited to the methods' signature (think JavaDocs). Rust SDK is sample-based. However, one can get some information from the C++ SDK.

APISIX doesn't implement proxy-wasm but integrates wasm-nginx-module. It's an Apache v2-licensed project provided by api7.ai, one of the main contributors to Apache APISIX. As its name implies, integration is done at the NGINX level.
