  • Multi-runtime support (Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Vercel, AWS Lambda, Node.js)
  • Built-in middleware for authentication, caching, context storage, and streaming
  • Lightweight footprint suitable for edge deployments and microservices
  • Use cases include REST APIs, edge proxies, and microservice backends

Quick Start

Create a new Hono app, define routes, and deploy to your preferred edge runtime.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build web APIs that work across multiple edge runtimes?▼

To build web APIs across multiple edge runtimes, you need a framework built on Web Standards that supports Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Vercel, AWS Lambda, and Node.js. This allows a single codebase to operate across diverse edge environments.

What is the best way to build RESTful endpoints for edge computing?▼

The best way to build RESTful endpoints for edge computing is using an ultrafast web framework with a lightweight footprint. This approach provides Web Standards routing and a comprehensive middleware ecosystem suitable for edge deployments.

Can I use TypeScript with a web framework for Cloudflare Workers and Deno?▼

Yes, you can use TypeScript with web frameworks designed for Cloudflare Workers and Deno. A multi-runtime framework provides native TypeScript support alongside Web Standards routing for these edge environments.

Does this web framework include middleware for authentication and caching?▼

Yes, the web framework includes built-in middleware for authentication, caching, context storage, and streaming. These features support edge-first architectures and microservice backends natively.

How do I set up edge proxies using a lightweight TypeScript web framework?▼

To set up edge proxies, you apply a lightweight TypeScript web framework to your edge environment. You create a new app, define routes, and deploy to your preferred edge runtime like AWS Lambda or Vercel.

When should I not use an edge-first web framework for my APIs?▼

You should not use an edge-first web framework if your application requires heavy server-side processing or long-running tasks beyond REST APIs and edge proxies. Edge runtimes are optimized for lightweight, ultrafast routing instead of compute-heavy workloads.
