  • Ultrafast routing with Web Standards across runtimes
  • 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.
