Deno team joins Cloudflare and announces end of runtime development
Key Takeaway
The Deno team is joining Cloudflare to focus on the celld platform, leading to the eventual end of independent Deno runtime development.
Summary
The Deno team is joining Cloudflare to integrate their work with Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects. As part of this transition, the Deno runtime will receive bug fixes and security updates for one year before development ends, while Deno Deploy will shut down in six months. The JSR registry will continue to operate on Cloudflare infrastructure.
Transition timeline and project status
- Deno runtime: Supported for one more year with monthly security and bug fix releases.
- Deno Deploy: Scheduled to shut down in six months.
- JSR: Will continue operating, with its infrastructure migrating to Cloudflare.
- celld: A new distributed application framework built on the Cloudflare Workers programming model.
- rusty_v8: Development will continue with the goal of integrating it into workerd.
Why it matters
The move shifts focus from a standalone runtime to a shared platform model, impacting users currently relying on Deno Deploy and the independent Deno runtime.
