About Early Access
You are viewing the documentation for Deno DeployEA. Looking for Deploy Classic documentation? View it here.
Deno Deploy Early Access (Deno DeployEA) is a complete revamp of the original Deploy, featuring:
- Improved NPM compatibility and web framework support
- Built-in OpenTelemetry integration
- Integrated build system
- Significantly enhanced underlying infrastructure
Deno DeployEA is in private beta. To use Deno Deploy EA you must join the Early Access program from the Deploy Classic account settings page.
After joining the Early Access program, you may still not immediately have access to Deno DeployEA as we are rolling out access in waves.
Deno DeployEA comes with a new dashboard at app.deno.com. In this dashboard, you can create new Deno DeployEA organizations that contain Deno DeployEA apps.
Within a single organization, you cannot mix and match Deno DeployEA apps and Deploy Classic projects. You can switch between Deno DeployEA organizations and Deploy Classic organizations through the organization picker in the top left of the dashboard.
What is Deno DeployEA? Jump to heading
Deno Deploy is a serverless platform for running JavaScript and TypeScript applications in the cloud (or self-hosted on your own infrastructure). Deno Deploy acts as a management plane for deploying and running applications, for example through a GitHub integration.
