So how I understand what they tried to do: offer a FOSS self-hosted runtime that is 100% compatible w/ CF (the green line is based on the amount of Digital Ocean 8GB boxes you need) so that you won't get disrupted by CF outages. Getting acquired by the thing you liberated... is a great way to cash out and give your users the finger.
Whomever ends up maintaining Deno (if anyone that isn't just a meat slave to a Claude overlord would even wanna do that) then they're likely to see hard times getting funded outside of our scene.
Oh! So it solved the problem I have with serverless stuff only to be bought out and turned back into part of the problem. It sucks because I liked many of Deno's founding ideas. I should try to find some data on founders that regret acquisitions so I can fantasize about making it well known and discouraging founders from getting acquired.

Great idea. We'll use it against you when you sell to Reddit. 😂
The request handling logic doesn’t really change between serverless implementations. In fact it doesn’t even change between non-serverless and serverless.
Proof: you can take WordPress (of all things), wrap some lines of PHP around it and have it running as an AWS lambda function.
In the end it is just a deployment strategy and you can even self host a serverless target.
It's a bit sloppy, but you gotta say something when you're acquired by literally the thing you sought to make an alternative for... i.e. I think they're talking more about
celldthan about Deno:blue line is Cloudflare, green line is them
I bottom line see this as Cloudflare acquiring the competition (like FB buying Whatsapp, Nvidia buying Groq, etcetera, except this was a FOSS team)
