Shameless plug. Disclaimer. I work for Cloudflare. Have you tried Workers? You can do the same in a playground [1]. You can also do the same by deploying a worker through the dashboard UI (including writing the code). Nothing to link though because you need an account. The playground is limited in what it can do because it’s not deployed. You can also use Pages to point at a repo which lets you build a website and se…
Please purchase Deno the company before dismantling their only source of income through deno deploy--deno the tool is too nice to lose!
Since Workers started before Rust was a thing, Deno have a mild advantage on development velocity of the runtime (C++ is more annoying in some ways). They’ve also compounded that velocity by writing most of the runtime in Typescript whereas our runtime is in C++.
However, our runtime is far more battle tested at scale which means trickier distributed systems problems solved and more efficiencies of scale (+ c++ has less of a memory hit than TS so it will be interesting to see if they can hit the memory scale needed to support many customers simultaneously). Personally I wish them the best as I think competition is always critical to force you to focus on making a better product.
