What happened?
The Deno team announced it is joining Cloudflare. According to the announcement on Cloudflare's blog, the move aims to radically simplify self-hosting of Workers and Durable Objects.
Why it matters
Workers is Cloudflare's platform for running code on the server side, while Durable Objects is used for stateful applications. Being able to run these components on your own infrastructure makes it easier for developers to use the same code and primitives across different environments.
Who spoke
The announcement comes from Ryan Dahl, Senior Principal Engineer at Cloudflare, and Kenton Varda, Distinguished Engineer. Both shared their perspectives on how the move came about in the blog post.
What we know so far
The post says the team's arrival is meant to let developers use the same primitives in more places. No additional details such as a product timeline or pricing were included.
