With Deno Deploy, the Deno JavaScript / TypeScript runtime developers deliver a globally distributed virtual machine service that runs JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly at the edge. The goal is for Deno Deploy to become the best place to host modern server-side JavaScript.

Deno Deploy was released as a first beta on June 23, with a series of beta releases expected to follow. General availability is expected in the fourth quarter of 2021. A multi-tenant JavaScript engine running in 25 data centers around the world, from Taiwan to Montreal, Los Angeles and London, Deno Deploy integrates cloud infrastructure with the Google V8 virtual machine , allowing developers to develop locally and deploy globally.

Built on the same systems as Deno CLI, Deno Deploy is free for developers to use during beta 1, with users able to register to use it via GitHub. Over the past eight months, Deno developers have designed the hosted service to complement workflows with the open source Deno CLI.

Deno Deploy does not run on AWS Lambda and does not use Cloudflare Workers. Rather, it is a new system with a unique design. Its builders want users to look beyond the rough initial UI and explore the new JavaScript runtime.

Deno Deploy offers the following features:

• Deploying code via a URL.
• Support for TypeScript, JSX, IO modules and remote HTTPS imports out of the box.
• Support broadcast channel for real-time communications. the Broadcast channel API, which is a browser API for real-time communication between tabs, is well suited for server-side JavaScript, Deno representatives said.
• Custom certificates, Deno Deploy only handling encrypted traffic.
• Direct integration of GitHub.

Thanks to Deno Deploy, developers can use the experimental version Fresh web framework to create dynamic projects that do not require a build step. Developers can write code and deploy to Deno, with Fresh handling all the steps. No configuration is required and file system routing is provided.

The Deno project, meanwhile, released on June 8 Deno 1.11, featuring Docker images, more web encryption APIs and a stable implementation of the deno lint Inter. Deno 1.10 was released in May. Users can upgrade to Deno 1.11 by running deno upgrade.
