Deno Deploy Has a Free API — Run TypeScript at the Edge Globally in Seconds

What if you could deploy a TypeScript server to 35+ global edge locations with zero configuration — and it started in milliseconds?

Deno Deploy is a serverless edge platform built on the Deno runtime.

Why Deno Deploy

• Zero config — push TypeScript, it runs. No bundler, no package.json
• Global edge — deployed to 35+ regions automatically
• V8 isolates — starts in <5ms (no cold starts like Lambda)
• Built-in KV — globally consistent key-value storage
• Web standard APIs — fetch, Request, Response — no proprietary SDK
• Free tier — 100K requests/day, 100 GiB bandwidth/month

Quick Start

// main.ts — that is the entire deployment
Deno.serve((req: Request) => {
  const url = new URL(req.url);
  return new Response(`Hello from ${url.pathname}!`);
});

Deploy:

deployctl deploy --project=my-api main.ts

Deno KV — Built-in Database

const kv = await Deno.openKv();

// Store data
await kv.set(["users", "123"], { name: "Alice", role: "admin" });

// Read it back — globally consistent
const user = await kv.get(["users", "123"]);
console.log(user.value); // { name: "Alice", role: "admin" }

No database setup, no connection strings, no ORM. Just key-value storage that works everywhere.

Real Use Case

A startup ran a Next.js API on AWS Lambda. Cold starts averaged 2.3 seconds — users saw loading spinners on every fresh request. After moving to Deno Deploy, cold starts dropped to 4ms. Their p99 latency went from 3.1s to 47ms.

When to Use Deno Deploy

• Edge APIs with global latency requirements
• Webhook handlers and serverless functions
• Lightweight microservices
• Projects that want zero-config TypeScript deployment
