# Deno Deploy

> Web-standard JavaScript at the edge, with built-in OpenTelemetry and a global KV.

- Runs V8 isolates against web-standard APIs.
- Same code runs locally under the Deno CLI and in thirty-odd regions in production.
- The newer generation added first-class framework support and ships OpenTelemetry with no configuration, unlike anything else here.
- Still the smallest platform in this comparison, with pricing that has been rebuilt more than once.

| Next.js parity | basic | Inferred | - | - | Next.js is supported by the newer generation of the platform, but this is not where you run a complex Next.js app. | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--nextjs_parity |
| Runtime model | edge-only | Inferred | - | - | V8 isolates running web-standard APIs, identical to the local Deno CLI. | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--runtime_model |
| Fn timeout | - | Unknown | - | - | Deploy limits CPU time per request rather than wall clock, and the published figures have moved between platform generations. Left blank rather than guessed. | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--function_timeout |
| Cold start | 50ms | Community-reported | - | - | Isolate startup: slower than Workers, far faster than anything Lambda-backed. | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--cold_start |

| Observability | included-full | Inferred | - | - | OpenTelemetry traces, logs and metrics ship without configuration, the only host here where that is true. | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--observability |
| Sydney region | ● | Inferred | - | - | Sydney is in the published region list; requests route to the nearest region automatically. | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--sydney_region |

| Free tier | 4 | Inferred | - | - | Generous request and transfer allowance, but small enough that a real site outgrows it. | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--free_tier |
| Self-hostable | ○ | Inferred | - | - | The Deno runtime is MIT-licensed and self-hostable; the Deploy platform is not. | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--self_hostable |
| Exit friction | 2 | Inferred | - | - | Web-standard code moves anywhere. Deno KV and Queues are the parts that do not. | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--lockin_score |

| Funding | growth | Inferred | - | - | - | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--funding_stage |
| Pricing clarity | 3 | Inferred | - | - | Clear enough on its face, but the platform has changed shape often enough that the number you budgeted may not survive the year. | https://toolweight.com/compare/vercel-alternatives#deno-deploy--pricing_clarity |

**Verdict.** The best out-of-the-box observability here, but the smallest platform with pricing rebuilt more than once.
