@hboon yeah, mainly to diversify as Deno was built to be a "do-over" of Node.js (creator of Deno is also creator of Node.js 🤣). It uses more existing web standard APIs instead of reinventing the wheel. Though historically (io.js days), Node.js will usually slowly absorb all these learnings in later versions.

I also have two apps deployed on Deno Deploy, which I think is mainly simpler "wrappers" around CloudFlare workers/KV/etc:

- https://github.com/cheeaun/img-alt-api

@cheeaun since you are on it. How about bun for you? I have only been using bun (because originally it was really much faster to start up and memory efficient compare to Node.js) as a dev replacement for Node.js, but not in prod because of leaks.
