Recently, I needed to explore Deno for a project, so I thought I’d share what I learned about this modern alternative to Node.js. Queue the findings and resources below!
What is Deno?
Deno is a secure, modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript, created by Ryan Dahl, the original creator of Node.js. Launched in 2020, Deno addresses several issues that Dahl identified in Node.js, such as security concerns and lack of built-in TypeScript support. It’s designed with enhanced security features and embraces modern web standards. For more context, check out Ryan Dahl’s talk on what Deno solves that Node.js didn’t:
What Can You Use Deno For?
- Server-Side Applications: Ideal for building secure web servers, APIs, and microservices with built-in TypeScript support.
- Scripting and Automation: Provides a secure and efficient environment for running JavaScript or TypeScript scripts.
- Cloud Functions: Perfect for serverless functions where lightweight and secure execution is essential.
