Hono
Ultrafast web framework for the edge
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.
Panel Reviews
The Builder
Developer Perspective
“Runs everywhere — Workers, Deno, Bun, Node. The middleware system and RPC mode are well-designed.”
The Skeptic
Reality Check
“The portability across runtimes is genuinely useful. Express-like familiarity with modern performance.”
The Futurist
Big Picture
“A universal web framework that runs on any runtime is the right abstraction for the multi-runtime future.”
Community Sentiment
“Hono is what Express would have been if built for edge runtimes from day one”
“Benchmarks look great, middleware API is familiar enough to pick up immediately”
“Switched from Express to Hono for my Cloudflare Workers API and never looked back”
“Tiny bundle size, fast as hell, runs everywhere — this is the future of web frameworks”
