You complain the flags always have to be set to get anything working so they are supposedly useless. No, you don’t have to set them in a grant-all fashion. All flags allow fine-grained permissions, e.g. --allow-env=API_KEY,PORT only allows access to the env vars API_KEY and PORT instead of all env vars. The same principle applies to --allow-net, --allow-run, --allow-read, --allow-write, etc. See `deno run --help` or https://docs.deno.com/runtime/fundamentals/security/ for more.

1. What does it look like for a page to be indexed when googlebot is not allowed to crawl it? What is shown in search results (since googlebot has not seen its content)?

2. The linked page says to avoid Disallow in robots.txt and to rely on the noindex tag. But how can I prevent googlebot from crawling all user profiles to avoid database hits, bandwidth, etc. without an entry in robots.txt? With noindex, googlebot must visit each user profile page to see that it is not supposed to be indexed.

Deno Inc. has enough expertise in running a global service that two other companies rely on their work to offer edge functions to their customers (Netlify and Supabase). Adding a database to the service makes sense. And to be clear, they don’t develop a brand new database. They build atop of SQLite and FoundationDB.
