Reviewer scorecard
“The free tier is absurdly generous and the cold starts are essentially zero. For APIs, middleware, and edge logic, nothing else gives you this performance at this price.”
“Deploy Deno apps globally with zero config. The built-in KV store and BroadcastChannel are useful primitives.”
“The Worker runtime has limitations — no Node.js stdlib, size limits, CPU time limits. Know the constraints. But for what it does well, it's unbeatable.”
“Simple and effective for Deno projects. The free tier is generous for side projects and experiments.”
“Cloudflare is building the programmable internet. Workers + D1 + R2 + AI = a complete platform that runs at the edge. They're quietly becoming the default infrastructure layer.”
“Deno Deploy proves the tight runtime + platform integration creates the best DX. Bun will follow this pattern.”
