I would love to see more in-depth explanations about Oxygen [0]. I'm currently creating a similar runtime [1] based on V8 Isolates so that would be interesting to compare.

Look for a blog post about Oxygen in the coming weeks! Initially, we're partnering with Cloudflare using Workers for Platforms [0] so Oxygen's runtime shares many of the same APIs you'd expect to see in a Cloudflare Worker [1].

Does that mean you want to roll out your own runtime in the future?

Isn't this the nature of trying to capture more profit? Of course, once proven, they would like to vertically integrate; I take this as true in all circumstances

Certainly not out of the picture, but Cloudflare is a terrific solution for us right now.

Same same, the SSR piece means they’d have to build some kind of storefront PaaS, and it wasn’t immediately obvious what the enabling runtime is (or more interestingly for me, how it ticks).
