  • Building bun-tastic: A Fast, High-Performance Static Site Server (OSS)
    5 projects | dev.to | 15 Jan 2025
    bun-tastic is a high-performance static site server that's designed to be fast, flexible, and easy to use. It's built to run on Bun(a fast and modern JavaScript runtime) and its S3 API. It uses any S3-compatible object storage to store the site files. However, I'd recommend you use Tigris because it can cache objects globally, making it faster for you to access them from anywhere in the world. Think of it like AWS S3 and CloudFront combined, but in this case you don't have to pay extra for global cache or worry about setting up an extra tool.

  • What are JavaScript Engines?
    3 projects | dev.to | 26 Dec 2024
    These runtimes' goal, as stated by Bun's docs, "is to run most of the world's JavaScript outside of browsers, bringing performance and complexity enhancements to your future infrastructure, as well as developer productivity through better, simpler tooling." These runtimes, in fact, leverage the power of JavaScript engines to make JavaScript run outside of browsers.

  • 5 things I like about Deno
    4 projects | dev.to | 12 Dec 2024
    I remember the early days when it was just introduced; Deno seemed to lag behind Node.js in terms of program performance. Specifically, benchmark tests showed the difference between Deno and Node when running the same program; Deno always came up short. At one point, bun.sh suddenly appeared. Bun emerged as a phenomenon because it outperformed both Node.js in terms of performance. This made Deno seem even more dull.
