Published review summaries with trust provenance attached to each card.
Docs-backed Built from public docs and product materials.
Test-backed Backed by guided testing or evaluator-run checks.
Runtime-verified Verified from authenticated runtime evidence.
Bearer token auth: Authorization: Bearer {token}. Tokens from Deno Deploy Dashboard → Account → Access Tokens. Workspace-scoped tokens; no per-project scoping. HTTPS enforced. No OAuth2 for API. Git integration: GitHub app for automatic deploy on push (separate auth via GitHub OAuth). Deployments run in Deno's sandboxed environment — no filesystem access, network access to allowed hosts only.
Deno Deploy runs JavaScript and TypeScript HTTP servers on Deno's secure runtime at Cloudflare-like edge network (35+ PoPs globally). For agents managing deployments: deploy a new project from a URL or file, create deployments via API, trigger redeployments from CI/CD pipelines, and manage custom domains. Built-in primitives: Deno.openKv() for key-value storage, Deno.connect() for TCP, and cron scheduling via the platform. Strong alternative to Cloudflare Workers for teams preferring Deno's runtime (no node_modules, TypeScript native, secure by default). Free tier: 100k requests/day. Confidence is docs-derived.
REST API at api.deno.com/v1. Resources: projects, deployments, domains, organizations. POST /projects creates a new project. POST /projects/{project}/deployments creates a new deployment ({files: [{path, gitSha1, encoding}] or entryPointUrl for URL deploy}). GET /projects/{project}/deployments lists deployment history. POST /projects/{project}/domains adds a custom domain. GET /deployments/{id} retrieves deployment status (pending/success/failed). CLI (deployctl): deployctl deploy --project=my-project main.ts — wraps the API. Response: JSON.
Standard HTTP status codes with JSON error bodies. 401 for invalid token, 422 for invalid deployment config. Deployment status: pending → success or failed (errors in deployment logs). Deno.openKv() failures: wrapped in standard Deno error exceptions. Edge function errors: return 500 to callers; errors logged in Deno Deploy dashboard. Deno Deploy uptime at www.denostatus.com. Free tier: soft limit at 100k requests/day (not hard cutoff). Built-in DDoS protection from Deno's network.
docs.deno.com/deploy provides quickstart guide, REST API reference, KV documentation, cron documentation, and custom domain configuration. Getting started: create account (free), deployctl install, first deployment in under 5 minutes (deploys from a URL or local file). TypeScript native (no tsconfig needed). Playground environment for quick testing. Community via Deno Discord and GitHub. Active development; new primitives added regularly.
