Cloudflare absorbs Deno: Node stays the standard, the prize is Durable Objects

Cloudflare has acquired Deno, and the runtime itself is moving into maintenance mode: only security patches will ship before development stops. The key asset is CellD, a self-hostable implementation of the Durable Objects model that takes stateful edge infrastructure outside Cloudflare's cloud.

• Deno enters maintenance mode with security patches only
• Node remains the de facto standard for server-side JavaScript
• CellD is a self-hostable Durable Objects implementation with state and SQLite
• Migration off Deno Deploy is limited to a narrow window
