Deno enterprise pricing and performance for edge deployments

Deno Deploy’s tiered models

Deno Deploy provides a custom Enterprise plan for organizations requiring SOC2 Type 1 compliance and DPA. This tier includes a 99.95% reliability SLA. I find no public data on Enterprise discount levels.

The Builder plan costs $200 per month. It permits 10,000 active deployments and 25 team members. This plan includes 25 million requests and 2,000GiB of egress. It also allows 500 hours of active CPU time and 7,500 GiB-hr of memory. You can scale to 250 builds per hour and 20 concurrent sandboxes. The Pro plan costs $20 per month. It permits 50 active deployments and 10 team members. This plan includes 5 million requests and 200GiB of egress.

Deno Deploy bills through tiered subscriptions and usage meters. The Pro plan permits 50 hours of active CPU time and 750 GiB-hr of memory. If you exceed these, you pay $0.10 per hour for CPU and $0.025 per GiB-hr for memory. The Free tier provides 1 million requests and 20GiB of egress for personal projects. Prices vary.

Developers use Deno for its security-first sandbox. Every script starts with zero permissions unless you grant them using flags like –allow-net. Deno 2.6 introduced advanced flags such as –ignore-read and –ignore-env to fine-tune access control. This model helps mitigate risks from malicious packages. Deno has 106,000 GitHub stars. Node.js has 109,000 GitHub stars. Node.js handles 85% of enterprise traffic and 42.65% developer adoption. Deno 2.0 includes full compatibility with package.json and node_modules, which allows access to nearly 95% of npm packages. Node.js maintains 30-month LTS cycles. Major companies like Netflix, Uber, and PayPal build their infrastructures on Node.js.

Runtime performance comparisons

Cold start latency dictates the efficiency of serverless edge deployments. Bun 1.2.1 delivers 42 ms cold starts. Deno 2.0 achieves 28 ms in some tests. Node.js 22.4 averages 156 ms. Bun stays faster.

The runtime performance gap changes when applications add database operations. Bun 1.2.1 handles 142,300 requests per second in synthetic tests. Node.js 22.4 handles 58,700 requests per second. However, real-world production tests for a URL shortener show Bun at 12,400 requests per second while Node.js hits 12,000 requests per second. This performance difference shrinks to less than 3% once the application includes routing, validation, and database operations.

I would watch those latency numbers. Bun 1.2.1 delivers 42 ms cold starts, whereas Node.js 22.4 requires 156 ms, providing a measurable advantage for infrequent serverless functions that must boot quickly to reduce tail latency. You should check your workload.

Performance varies across different protocols. Deno handles 29,000 requests per second on Express. Bun manages 52,000 requests per second on Express. Node.js handles 14,000 requests per second on Express.

Comparing resource costs

The total cost of ownership depends on memory and CPU usage. Bun 1.2.1 uses 42 MB of memory at idle. Node.js 22.4 uses 89 MB at idle. Deno 2.0 uses 42 MB at idle. Bun 1.2.1 handles 500 concurrent WebSocket connections with 34% CPU usage. Node.js 22.4 requires 67% CPU usage for the same workload. Bun 1.2.1 uses 25% to 40% less memory for API servers.

Deno Deploy includes KV storage for data persistence. The Pro plan includes 5 GiB of KV storage. If you exceed this, you pay $0.75 per GiB. The Pro plan permits 5,000,000 KV read units and 2,500,000 KV write units. If you exceed these, you pay $1 per million read units and $2.50 per million write units. The Builder plan provides 10 GiB of KV storage and 25,000,000 read units. Deno also includes 2,000GiB of egress for the Builder plan.

Bun 1.2.1 provides speed gains. A fresh install of a medium project takes 2.3 seconds with Bun. npm takes 28.7 seconds for a fresh install. Bun 1.2.1 handles 142,300 requests per second while Node.js 22.4 handles 58,700 requests per second. Bun 1.2.1 finishes sorting 100,000 numbers in 1,700 ms. Node.js 22.4 finishes the same task in 3,400 ms. Bun 1.2.1 includes built-in Postgres support via Bun.SQL. It also includes an S3 client. Bun 1.3 added a MySQL client and built-in Redis support.

It works.

Is the performance gain worth the migration?
