For years, we’ve been working to make building server software simpler. We questioned how modules could be distributed, what security guarantees a JavaScript runtime could provide, what belonged in a complete toolchain, and how easily an application could be distributed as a standalone executable. Compatibility with Node.js became an important part of that work too: our users wanted the Deno improvements while continuing to plug into the existing JS ecosystem. The team and community built a runtime that brought these capabilities together and challenged assumptions about what JS development could look like.

Today we’re announcing that the entire Deno team is joining Cloudflare to take that work further.
