Self‑hostable Workers Make Cloud Portable

Cloudflare acquired Deno and will integrate celld (a single Rust binary that runs Workers + Durable Objects) into workerd so customers can run the Workers programming model on private infrastructure. Deno Deploy will be retired and the runtime maintained short‑term while the company shifts to enabling a self‑host path for previously vendor‑bound serverless apps. — This shifts the balance of power in the serverless/edge market: portability becomes a procurement feature, reduces vendor lock‑in leverage, and raises questions about regulatory scrutiny, data‑sovereignty, and competition.
