Cloudflare had only 100 PoPs just a few years ago. Bunny has been around 10 years, but didn't get the cash injection from Google like Cloudflare did.

If you read the article, Bunny uses Deno, CF uses a cut down version of Chromeium (each instance is like a browser tab; isolated). Thus the API difference.

But I do agree, CF is building out more of a suite.

WorkerD isn't anywhere near a "cutdown version of Chromium," it is an incredible platform with years of engineering put into it, from some of the people behind very similar and successful products (GAE, Protocol Buffers, to name some). I assume you are referring to V8 here but that also powers Deno.

WorkerD is open source: https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd

I personally am not a fan of Deno because of how it split the Node JS ecosystem, so that is not a benefit in my eyes. Of course, Workers can run Rust.

Nothing you said here necessitates an API difference.
