Reviewer scorecard
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
“Write server code once, deploy anywhere. The preset system handles platform-specific deployment automatically.”
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
“UnJS is building the invisible infrastructure of the JavaScript ecosystem. Nitro's portability is genuinely valuable.”
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
“Universal server engines that abstract deployment targets are the right foundation for framework-agnostic backends.”
