Cloudflare announced that Deno and its core team are joining Cloudflare, with Deno’s creators - led by Ryan Dahl - becoming part of Cloudflare’s developer platform efforts. The move brings Deno’s modern JavaScript/TypeScript runtime, tooling, and design decisions into Cloudflare’s edge and serverless stack. Cloudflare says Deno will remain open source while its engineers collaborate with the Workers team to merge strengths: Deno’s security-first permission model, first-class TypeScript support, ES module and URL-import semantics, integrated tooling (formatter, linter, bundler), and streamlined runtime with V8 into Cloudflare’s global edge network and services like Workers and Durable Objects.
The practical aim is to improve developer experience and performance for running JavaScript and TypeScript at the edge: eliminating separate build steps, tightening runtime security, and delivering a more predictable, modern platform for serverless apps. Cloudflare intends to invest in the runtime and ecosystem, align Deno’s runtime innovations with Workers’ operational scale, and continue supporting the Deno project and community so developers benefit from tighter integration, faster iteration, and enhanced capabilities when deploying code across Cloudflare’s global network.
