edge-runtime
A server based on Deno runtime, capable of running JavaScript, TypeScript, and WASM services.
Congrats on the launch! It's great to see more companies build serverless offerings on top of Deno.
I lead Supabase Edge Functions product, a similar offering built on top of Deno runtime too. We have open-sourced our runtime (https://github.com/supabase/edge-runtime), and it's self-hostable. It supports NPM, node built-ins, pluggable storage, and web sockets. We also have a built-in API for AI inference (https://supabase.com/blog/ai-inference-now-available-in-supa...)
Supabase Edge Runtime is easy to self-host (works, great as a multi-threaded JS web server). We love community contributions :) Let us know if you would like to collaborate.

WorkerD isn't anywhere near a "cutdown version of Chromium," it is an incredible platform with years of engineering put into it, from some of the people behind very similar and successful products (GAE, Protocol Buffers, to name some).
WorkerD is open source: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd
I personally am not a fan of Deno because of how it split the Node JS ecosystem, so that is not a benefit in my eyes. Of course, Workers can run Rust.
Nothing you said here necessitates an API difference.
