This sounds quite a bit like Cloudflare Workers, and they have a comparison page - <a href="https://github.com/losfair/blueboat/wiki/Comparison-with-Cloudflare-Workers" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/losfair/blueboat/wiki/Comparison-with-Clo...</a>.
I'd love to see a multi-tenant, low cold-start, runtime like this, but with no additional JS APIs for databases, pub-sub, etc. I'd want to provide any I/O or storage myself via built-in modules.
I’d add an option for disabling “cold starts” and make them persistent. An annoying concept amazon came up with to save costs on their end. Other than that it’s pretty neat.

Sort of related - the website design is beautiful. So clean and to the point. I checked the source and it's Tailwind :) Very well executed and a great inspiration me to look into source code for my own designs.
This is really neat. I'm a little sad that it requires rewriting of your js app to make it work with it but still. I'm going to tinker with this for sure.
