deno VS node

Here is the relevant Github issue with a better explanation:

https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/16105

Deno, version 1.28 or later.

import { serve } from "https://deno.land/[email protected]/http/server.ts"; const handler = async (_request: Request): Promise => { const resp = await fetch("https://api.github.com/users/denoland", { // The init object here has an headers object containing a // header that indicates what type of response we accept. // We're not specifying the method field since by default // fetch makes a GET request. headers: { accept: "application/json", }, }); return new Response(resp.body, { status: resp.status, headers: { "content-type": "application/json", }, }); }; serve(handler);

Does this change your mind at all? https://github.com/denoland/deno/blob/be1fc754a14683bf640b7b...

It looks to me like they've documented the KV Connect protocol they invented to support this feature, in enough detail that anyone else could build an alternative backend for it.

This has helped me feel completely OK with how they're handling this. They get an advantage in that they've already built an extremely robust proprietary backend, but I find that acceptable given the documented protocol.

Yes, sort of - on Deno Deploy the authentication doesn't come from a token in env vars, but from intrinsic security tickets baked into the Deno Deploy system. Also, it's a bit faster on first connect, because compared to KV connect we can skip the metadata exchange[1] because the information it provides is already present in Deno Deploy through other means. Both the backend service and frontend API (JS->KV) is the same though :)

Deno is an alternative JavaScript runtime that was released back in 2020. I’ve been seeing more interest in it recently, and it has some compelling features:

Most platform connectors are written on Deno, that allows you to host them serverless for free!

Node.js (version 18.16.1 is recommended)

Node.js and NPM: Make sure you have Node.js and NPM installed on your local development environment. You can download them from the official website (https://nodejs.org/).

Bun is a Javascript runtime that claims to be 4x faster than NodeJS. Bun is an all-in-one Javascript runtime & toolkit. Bun ships as a single executable that can be installed on your computer. Bun is written in Zig, a low-level general-purpose programming language. Zig is an imperative, general-purpose, statically typed, compiled system programming language. Zig is supposed to be a replacement for C and C++. Zig is designed to be smaller and simpler to program in while also offering modern features, so you'd expect applications built with Zig to be quite fast, a feature that spills into Bun.

Install Node.js: If you haven't already, download and install Node.js from the official website (https://nodejs.org/).

A progressive Node.js framework for building efficient and scalable server-side applications.

Node.js programming language will be used for simplicity. Handlebars template engine to separate data from the presentation. html2pdf.app to convert HTML to PDF, but as an alternative Puppeteer can be used also (you can find a complete tutorial How to convert HTML to PDF with puppeteer).

This tutorial assumes you have Node.js installed. If you don’t, please install it before continuing.

Node 18

The year was 2009. Amidst the din of established server-side titans like PHP, Ruby on Rails, and Django, a new warrior geared up for the arena. A humble fellow by the name of Ryan Dahl presented to the world: Node.js.

Before you begin, you'll need to have Node.js installed, as it's needed to run React in development mode on your local machine. Node.js also ships with the Node Package Manager (npm), which enables the installation of some required packages, like Bryntum Gantt. If you haven't already, download the LTS version of Node.js and install it.
