Descriptions

Azion Edge Functions

Azion has been around for over a decade.

Traditionally a cloud hosting provider, Azion has increased their offerings at a steady rate thoughout their years of existance.

their serverless platform is in it’s infancy days at the time of writing (early 2021), with 2 supported languages and just a limited set of accessible runtime variables.

The documentation isn’t comprehensive as one would hope.

Anyone with local compute requirements in the LATAM space would incriminate themselves not considering Azion as their supplier.

Deno Deploy

Deno is a new open source rust-based typescript v8 javascript engine.

Deno recently launched their Deno Deploy product, which is a full fledged edge compute platform completely built for the Deno/javascript/typescript landscape.

Deno offers a nice local worker environment which full support for Worker Environments.

The Deno library size is not that big at the time of writing, but with the underlying tech, this should only be a matter of time.
