24 alternatives to Extend your platform via custom code with Deno Subhosting

Hey all, Andy from the Deno team here. We're excited to share with you Deno Subhosting, an easy way to extend your platforms functionality by securely running untrusted JavaScript written by your users. When we first launched Deno Deploy in 2021, we were surprised at the volume of requests from companies about getting access to the APIs needed to run Deno Deploy. Many companies wanted to give their users the ability to write custom logic in their app, but setting this up in the cloud presents security concerns and a ton of infra work/maintenance. We realized that there was an…

    After yesterday's release of Deno with package.json support[0] some discussions about how Deno handles dependencies have been coming up again. Since Deno's inception, I've mostly been watching it from the sidelines, dabbling a bit with it, and mostly been considering it a fad that will die out sooner or later. Ultimately, with the new package.json support nothing really changed regarding the dependency management story of Deno. It's still as awful as ever. Prompted by some discussions, I decided I would try to test how easy it would be to mount a typo-domain supply chain attack. And as…

    Made this little thing: https://github.com/borkdude/bebo In the spirit of deno it allows you to install a script from an https location but for Clojure(Script, .cljs). Why would you use this? I love Clojure and I'd love to see it in more places than the JVM and browser. Maybe you do too. It is similar to the idea of nbb which allows you to run .cljs scripts on Node.js via the SCI interpreter: - https://github.com/babashka/nbb - https://github.com/babashka/sci I posted this project yesterday but forgot to add "Show HN"...

HN Discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45399204 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45386248 Deno provides a great sandbox environment for Typescript code execution because of its permissions system which made it easy to spin up code that only has access to fetch and network calls.

    Hi HN, I'm Mohammed, a technical founder who loves shipping and giving back to the community. I'm open-sourcing the full-stack engine that powers my B2B product, apflow.co. What it is: A production B2B starter with a Go backend and Next.js frontend. Both are fully Dockerized with separate containers. No Vercel. No Supabase. Deploy the whole thing on a $6 VPS, or split frontend and backend across different providers. You own the infrastructure. The problem I was solving: Every SaaS starter I evaluated had the same issue: they locked me into someone else's platform. Vercel for hosting.…
