Deno Deploy vs Koyeb

Koyeb scores higher on the AgentReady, 57/100 against 52/100. They differ on 11 of the 41 signals. Which ones decides whether an agent can adopt them without a person watching.

What each one is

Deno Deploy. Deno is a fast, open-source, fully Node-compatible JavaScript runtime with TypeScript and everything else you need baked right in.

Koyeb. Developer-friendly serverless platform designed to let businesses and developers easily deploy reliable and scalable applications globally, with high-performance infrastructure for AI inference, sandboxes, and microservices on CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators

Where Deno Deploy is ahead

Deno Deploy passes llms.txt published and llms-full.txt / full agent docs, and Koyeb does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.

It also holds understand: structured api reference. Koyeb misses it.

And on operate, agent compatibility verified. Koyeb misses it.

Where Koyeb is ahead

Koyeb passes mcp discoverable, and Deno Deploy does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.

It also holds understand: pricing understandable. Deno Deploy misses it.

And on adopt, self-service signup, free trial or free allowance, fast time to first request, copyable quickstart and mcp integration available. Deno Deploy misses those.

What neither does

Both fail clear canonical domain, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, programmatic credential creation, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.

Score, pillar by pillar

The AgentReady splits into four pillars, scored separately, because a product can be easy to find and still impossible to adopt.

Discover. Both sit at 80/100 here. Deno Deploy misses clear canonical domain, mcp discoverable; Koyeb misses clear canonical domain, llms.txt published, llms-full.txt / full agent docs.

Understand. Deno Deploy leads 31 to 23. Deno Deploy misses openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, pricing understandable, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented; Koyeb misses structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, authentication documented, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented.

Adopt is whether an agent can get a key and make its first successful call without a human in the loop. Koyeb leads 90 to 45. Deno Deploy misses self-service signup, programmatic credential creation, free trial or free allowance, fast time to first request, copyable quickstart, mcp integration available; Koyeb misses programmatic credential creation.

Operate. Deno Deploy leads 53 to 35. Deno Deploy misses structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable; Koyeb misses structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified.

Pricing

Deno Deploy does not publish a machine-readable starting price. Koyeb does not publish one and has a free tier.
