Hono
Tiny TypeScript web framework that runs on every runtime

What's Good
MIT. One API across Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node, and AWS Lambda. Middleware, JSX, validation, and RPC helpers without a framework tax. The docs are short on purpose. If you are writing an API, not a full Next.js app, this is the default.
The Catch
Not Next.js. No filesystem router, no RSC, no batteries. You bring auth, ORM, and deploy. The Cloudflare-first energy is real — Node works, but the happy path is an edge runtime.
Verdict
The TypeScript HTTP framework when Next is the wrong shape.
