Deno Deploy changelog

November 25th, 2025 Jump to heading

Features Jump to heading

  • Deno Deploy can now securely expose locally running applications on a public domain using the deno run --tunnel / deno task --tunnel.
    • This is particularly useful for testing webhooks from third-party services, or sharing work-in-progress applications with colleagues or clients.
    • The tunnel creates a secure connection from your local machine to Deno Deploy's infrastructure, and provisions a temporary public domain that routes traffic to your local application.
    • In addition, --tunnel automatically pulls down "Local" environment variables from the Deno Deploy dashboard, making configuration and secrets management much easier.
    • Open Telemetry metrics, logs, and traces are also collected from local applications and can be viewed in the Deno Deploy dashboard, the same way as deployed applications.
    • Learn more in the documentation.
  • Postgres databases can now be directly provisioned from the Deno Deploy dashboard, hosted by our friends at Prisma.
    • Like other externally linked databases, each timeline (production, git branches, and previews) in every app, gets its own isolated database schema and data.
    • You can manage your database directly from the Deno Deploy dashboard, with options to export your database to your own Prisma account for further management.
    • Learn more in the documentation.
  • Builds have been improved further with:
    • Customizable build timeouts (defaulting to 5 minutes, up to 15 minutes on Pro plan)
    • Customizable memory allocation for the builder (defaulting to 3GB, up to 4GB on Pro plan)
    • The directory that builds run in can now be customized, enabling deployment of applications inside of a monorepo
    • Applications can now set the runtime working directory that is used when booting up the application after a successful build
  • Users can now sign in to Deno Deploy using Google, in addition to GitHub.
    • From the account settings page, you can link both Google and GitHub to your account, allowing you to sign in with either provider.
  • The playgrounds list on the organization overview page has been merged into the apps list, allowing you to see and manage all your deployed code from a single place.
    • Playgrounds now have an overview page, similar to apps, showing metrics, builds, logs, and traces.
    • Playgrounds can now be assigned custom domains through the settings.
  • The domain and database dropdowns in the assignment drawers now support searching, making it easier to find the domain or database you want to assign when you have many.
  • Billing and metering has moved to a new dedicated page per organization, showing detailed usage breakdowns, invoice history, and payment methods, plan details, and more.
  • Applications now have a dedicated databases page, showing all linked databases, their status, and options to manage them.
  • The .env import field in the environment variable drawer is now more visible, and now supports drag-and-drop of .env files

Bug fixes Jump to heading

  • Fixed a bug where the percentage in usage alert emails was off by 100x (e.g. showing 100% instead of 1%). This was caused by a decimal vs percentage mixup.
  • The package managers npm, yarn, and pnpm now more reliably install dependencies during the build step.
  • The environment variable value input field now handles multiline values correctly, and does not strip out newlines anymore.
  • Fix some organizations not being unsuspended immediately after verifying with a credit card.
  • Fix some builds hanging when a user provided install or build command does not terminate quickly on SIGTERM.
  • Changing the slug of a database instance now correctly updates the slug in the URL bar, ensuring that the page can be refreshed without error.
  • Build timeouts are now displayed as timeouts, rather than generic cancellations, in the build logs, and build history.
  • A timeline does not have to be unlocked anymore before being able to be locked to a new revision, if already locked to a revision.

Features Jump to heading

  • Metering and billing is now enabled for all organizations on Deno Deploy.
    • After creation, all organizations default to the Free plan, which includes generous free usage limits each month. To learn more about the Free and Pro plans, see the pricing page.
    • Free organizations that exceed their usage on requests, bandwidth, or CPU or memory time will have their applications paused until the next billing cycle, while Pro organizations will be billed for the overage at the end of the month.
    • Organizations can only make use of restricted Free plan limits until they verify their organization by linking a credit card.
    • The Pro plan enables features such as wildcard custom domains, priority support, and increased included limits.
    • Spend limits are available to Pro organizations, allowing you to cap your monthly spend to avoid unexpected charges.
  • Deno Deploy now supports issuing OIDC tokens for all applications at runtime, allowing you to securely authenticate to third-party services and APIs without needing to manage long-lived static credentials.
  • In addition to TLS certificates provisioned automatically through Let's Encrypt by Deno Deploy, you can now upload and manage custom TLS certificates for your domains. This is useful for organizations that use EV or OV certificates, or have specific compliance requirements.
    • If a certificate nears expiration, we'll send email reminders to the organization owners to renew the certificate.
    • This feature is only available to organizations on the Pro plan.
  • Applications that are linked to GitHub repositories now dispatch GitHub repository_dispatch events every time a build is started, or completed (successfully or failed). These events can be picked up by GitHub Actions workflows to trigger additional actions, such as notifying a Slack channel, or running additional tests. See the documentation for more details.
  • Domains can now be unassigned from an application through the organization domains page, without needing to go to the application settings.

Bug fixes Jump to heading

  • When bulk importing environment variables, the heuristic to detect whether a variable is a secret or plain text has been improved. Now, variables with keys containing PUBLIC_ are always treated as plain text.
  • Some metrics on the organization and app metrics pages were displaying second values as milliseconds, causing them to appear 1000x too low. This has been fixed.

Features Jump to heading

  • Deno KV can now be used with the database integration:
    • Provision a Deno KV database through the "Databases" tab, and link it to an app or playground.
    • Access the Deno KV database from your code by using Deno.openKv().
    • KV queues, read-replication, manual backups, and choosing a primary region are not available at this time.
  • Playgrounds now support dragging in individual files and folders.
  • The playground file explorer now supports inline rename and delete of files.
  • New built-in environment variables have been added to enable detection of Deno Deploy EA, and the app that is running, and the organization it is running in: DENO_DEPLOY=1, DENO_DEPLOY_ORG_ID, DENO_DEPLOY_ORG_SLUG, DENO_DEPLOY_APP_ID, DENO_DEPLOY_APP_SLUG, DENO_DEPLOY_REVISION_ID.
  • Users can now create personal access tokens from their account page.
  • The Deno Deploy EA dashboard has migrated from https://app.deno.com to https://console.deno.com. All existing URLs will automatically redirect to the new URL.

Bug fixes Jump to heading

  • Check that Postgres database instances support dynamic provisioning of databases before allowing them to be linked to an organization.
  • Ensure that deleted Deno Deploy apps will never trigger GitHub status checks on push to the previously linked repo.
  • The playground HTTP explorer now correctly sends the set headers when making requests.
  • Playgrounds do not error on top level await anymore.
  • You can now add environment variables named GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to your Deno Deploy app.
  • When bulk importing environment variables in the app settings, we now correctly import them into that app, rather than mistakenly importing them into the organization environment variables.
  • Some versions of Next.js, that do not support using declarations, now correctly build again.
  • npm install in the build step now works more reliably, and does not fail with certificate related issues anymore.

July 23rd, 2025 Jump to heading

Features Jump to heading

  • New: Database support for Deno Deploy apps, allowing you to easily connect to and use Postgres databases in your applications.
    • Provision a Postgres database instance on AWS RDS, Neon, Supabase, or any other provider and then link it to your Deno Deploy organization.
    • Assign the database instance to an application, making it available in the application's environment.
    • Every timeline (production, each git branch, and previews) has their own isolated database with a separate schema and data, allowing you to test migrations and changes without affecting production data.
    • Use any Postgres client library to connect, including npm:pg, npm:drizzle, or npm:kysely.
  • Applications and playgrounds can now be renamed. Note, old deno.net URLs will no longer work after renaming, but custom domains will continue to function.
  • Applications and playgrounds can now be deleted.
  • Playgrounds now have an HTTP Explorer tab that allows you to make arbitrary HTTP requests to any URL served by the playground. This is useful for testing APIs or other services that do not serve a web page.
  • You can now delete entire folders in the playground file explorer by pressing the delete button next to the folder name.
  • You can now drag a zip file onto the playground file explorer to upload all files in the zip file to the playground.
  • You can now enable auto-format on save in the playground, which will automatically format your code when you save a file.

Bug fixes Jump to heading

  • DENO_ prefixed environment variables such as DENO_CONDITIONS, DENO_COMPAT, and DENO_AUTH_TOKENS can now be set without error.
  • The DENO_REVISION_ID environment variable is now correctly exposed to applications and playgrounds.
  • The custom domain assignment drawer now shows custom domains that are already assigned to another application or playground as disabled.
  • The network usage graph on the metrics page now correctly shows incoming and outgoing traffic. Previously, the data shown was incorrect.
  • For newly created organizations the first build now waits until the <org>.deno.net domain is provisioned before the routing step.
  • Pressing Ctrl-S / Cmd-S in the playground now saves the current file and triggers a build, instead of opening the browser's save dialog.
  • Viewing some specific traces previously hung the trace viewer. These now show correctly.

July 9th, 2025 Jump to heading

Features Jump to heading

  • New: Cloud Connect allows you to securely connect your Deno Deploy apps to AWS and GCP, enabling you to use services like AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, without needing to manage credentials.
    • This is done without storing any long-lived static credentials, but rather using short-lived tokens and OIDC (OpenID Connect) to establish a trust relationship between Deno Deploy and your cloud provider.
    • A setup flow in the app settings page, or a drawer in playgrounds, guides you through the process of connecting your app to AWS or GCP.
    • You can use the standard AWS and GCP SDKs to access the services - no need to re-write any code to use a different API.
    • Learn more in the documentation.
  • The application metrics page now shows more metrics, including V8 memory metrics such as heap size and garbage collection stats, as well as process level metrics such as CPU usage and overall memory usage.
  • There is now a new "Metrics" tab in the organization overview that shows overall metrics for all applications in the organization, including the number of requests, CPU usage, and memory usage.
  • You can now edit the URL you are viewing in the playground preview iframe by editing the "address bar" that is displayed above the preview.
  • Environment variables now default to being a secret when the key contains SECRET, KEY, TOKEN, PRIVATE, or PASSWORD. You can still manually switch them to plain text if needed.
  • The maximum length limit for environment variable values has been increased to 4096 characters, up from 1024 characters.

Bug fixes Jump to heading

  • Playgrounds do not get stuck when attempting to deploy an empty file anymore.
  • Playground drawer resizing now works more reliably, especially when some drawers are collapsed.
  • Builds now take significantly less time to complete, especially for larger projects. The "Warmup" and "Routing" steps, which previously took more than 10 seconds respectively, now usually take less than 1 second each.
  • Builds can now be cancelled while they are in the "Queueing" and "Routing" steps.
  • The organization creation page now correctly displays whether an organization slug is taken or not, prior to submitting the form.
  • npm install can now install esbuild again - previously it would fail with a generic error.
