Reviewer scorecard
“Deploy Deno apps globally with zero config. The built-in KV store and BroadcastChannel are useful primitives.”
“The best DX for serverless GPU compute. Decorate a function, it runs on cloud GPUs. Caching and volumes just work.”
“Simple and effective for Deno projects. The free tier is generous for side projects and experiments.”
“Eliminates GPU infrastructure management entirely. The Python SDK is delightfully simple.”
“Deno Deploy proves the tight runtime + platform integration creates the best DX. Bun will follow this pattern.”
“Serverless GPU is the future of AI compute. Modal's developer experience is setting the standard.”
