Reviewer scorecard
“Deploy Deno apps globally with zero config. The built-in KV store and BroadcastChannel are useful primitives.”
“For apps that need full server control — WebSocket servers, background workers, AI inference — Fly.io gives you the flexibility that serverless platforms don't.”
“Simple and effective for Deno projects. The free tier is generous for side projects and experiments.”
“The DX has improved massively but it's still more complex than Vercel. You need to understand Docker and infrastructure. Not for beginners.”
“Deno Deploy proves the tight runtime + platform integration creates the best DX. Bun will follow this pattern.”
“Fly.io is the answer for workloads that don't fit the serverless model. As AI inference goes local-first, having servers in 30+ regions matters.”
