Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Deno Deploy
- Smaller ecosystem compared to AWS Lambda with fewer third-party integrations
- Less mature than established serverless platforms; newer company and platform
- 1GB deployment size limit may restrict larger applications
- 512MB memory limit lower than some competitors for memory-intensive workloads
- Smaller user base and community compared to Lambda or Netlify
Fireworks AI
- Reserved and enterprise-tier pricing is not published and requires sales contact.
- Model catalog is curated to ~30 models, smaller than DeepInfra's 100+ model library.
- On-demand GPU rates are scheduled to increase from September 1, adding cost unpredictability for locked-in workloads.
