The article introduces Deno, a new JavaScript and TypeScript runtime by the original creator of Node.js, Ryan Dahl. It explains how to replace Node.js with Deno in Strapi projects using ES Modules (ESM) support and Deno Deploy, a serverless service that allows for out-of-the-box support for TypeScript and ES Modules. The tutorial guides users through creating a new Strapi app, setting up the environment, and deploying it to Deno Deploy, resulting in a static server-side React web app with minimal code. The article highlights Deno's features, including its ability to manage dependencies with first-class support for ES Modules, and Deno Deploy's capabilities as a serverless HTTP server that translates HTTP requests into FetchEvents and forwards them to the listener function.
