Hono
Overview
Hono is a small, ultrafast web framework built on Web Standards that runs on any JavaScript runtime including Cloudflare Workers, Bun, Deno, Node.js, Vercel, and AWS Lambda. Application code is portable across runtimes; only the entry point and adapter differ per platform.
When to use: Edge-first APIs, Cloudflare Workers services, multi-runtime applications, lightweight REST/RPC servers, middleware-heavy request pipelines, type-safe client-server communication.
When NOT to use: Full-stack SSR frameworks (use Next.js/Remix), heavy ORM-driven monoliths where Express ecosystem maturity matters, applications that need deep Node.js-only APIs without Web Standard equivalents.
