Mission brief
A fast, open-source JavaScript runtime with built-in TypeScript, npm support, and security by default. Runs Node projects without setup.
Questions from the ground
Is Deno compatible with existing Node.js projects?
Yes, Deno runs Node code and understands lockfiles (npm, yarn, and pnpm), making any project simple to run with Deno. It supports ESM, JSX/TSX, node:* imports, and CommonJS imports.
Does Deno require configuration to work?
No, TypeScript, JSX, and npm packages work straight from source. No TypeScript compiler, ts-node, bundler, or configuration is needed to get started.
What security features does Deno provide?
Deno blocks file system, network, and environment access by default. It provides granular security controls with three layers of defense: deny-by-default access, scoped runtime permissions, and centralized audit logs.
What observability tools are built into Deno?
Deno includes native OpenTelemetry, CPU profiling with flame graphs, and debugging support in Chrome DevTools and VS Code, all built in from the start.
Where can Deno be deployed?
Deno can be deployed on any platform running Linux, macOS, or Windows as a single binary. It works in containers, serverless functions, VMs, or on Deno Deploy, the dedicated serverless platform.
