Hono is a lightweight web framework that runs on Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, and Node.js. Express-like API with middleware, but designed for edge and serverless environments.
Reviewer scorecard
“Playwright has surpassed Cypress in capabilities. Multi-browser, auto-waiting, and trace viewer are all better in Playwright.”
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“Was the best E2E framework but Playwright has taken the lead. The cloud pricing for CI is expensive.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“The test runner UI and time-travel debugging are the most intuitive of any testing tool.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
