Wrapping My Mind Around Node.js Runtimes

1. examples

   Examples and code snippets demonstrating common ways of integrating Neon with various frameworks and languages. (by neondatabase)

   

   Like Deno, Bun is looking to rely on JavaScript primitives and code simplicity. Here’s Neon running with Bun:

2. SaaSHub

   SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews. SaaSHub helps you find the best software and product alternatives

   

3. neonctl

   2 1 61 8.8 TypeScript

   Neon CLI tool. The Neon CLI is a command-line interface that lets you manage Neon Serverless Postgres directly from the terminal.

   

   Furthermore, it’s also extremely appealing to use Bun not as your production runtime, but just as your package manager. We’re currently doing that with neonctl, purely because of Bun’s performance (we also want to migrate the CLI runtime to Bun at some point, due to its single-file executable feature and overall performance).

4. txiki.js

   3 11 2,623 9.3 C

   A tiny JavaScript runtime

5. jsr

   4 21 2,601 9.4 Rust

   The open-source package registry for modern JavaScript and TypeScript

   

   But the reality wasn’t as clean. Deno found that dependency management, clutter, and reliability were all a problem with this approach. So, they’ve launched JSR, the JavaScript Registry. This is akin to npm in node, but TypeScript and ECMAScript-native. All you have to do is:

6. workerd

   5 41 6,423 9.9 C++

   The JavaScript / Wasm runtime that powers Cloudflare Workers

   

7. fresh

   6 134 12,768 9.2 TypeScript

   The next-gen web framework.

   

   Deno also provides infrastructure beyond the runtime. Tests, linters, and formatters are also included. You can also deploy your applications using Deno’s serverless environment, Deno Deploy (learn how to use Neon with Deno Deploy), and build entire applications using Deno’s framework, Fresh.

8. deploy_feedback

   7 60 75 2.2

   For reporting issues with Deno Deploy

   

   Use Deno if you want extra security, or if you specifically want to use Deno Deploy.

9. deno

   8 479 101,143 10.0 Rust

   A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

   

   Ryan Dahl chose to take the learnings from Node and built Deno. Deno addresses many of the concerns he had with Node.js:

10. bun

    9 349 75,274 10.0 Zig

    Incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager – all in one

    

    Bun is a little different. It was Node-compatible out of the gate and not looking to right-the-wrongs of Node.js. But, as it grew, it started to evolve towards a slightly different direction.
