Why Hono is My Go-To Framework for Edge Computing

After building several projects with Hono, I can confidently say it's become my favorite framework for edge computing and serverless applications.

What sets Hono apart:
- Zero dependencies and incredibly small bundle size
- Works everywhere: Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js, AWS Lambda
- Express-like API that feels familiar
- Built-in middleware for common tasks
- TypeScript-first with excellent type inference

The performance is remarkable. On Cloudflare Workers, Hono adds virtually no overhead to your cold start times. Combined with its intuitive API, you can go from idea to deployed API in minutes.

I particularly love the middleware ecosystem. JWT authentication, CORS, compression, and caching are all available as simple imports.

If you're building APIs for the edge, give Hono a try: Hono Documentation.
