Deno: has a basic permission model that is very helpful, written in Rust, and native TypeScript support.

I'm not deep in the webdev / node / Bun ecosystems, I've just been a happy user of Deno for small services for several years. Can someone explain why it sounds like there's such rapid growth of Bun? Is it just being used as a bundler, but not as JS runtime?

Just the permission system alone (though I wish it extended to modules) is so compelling with Deno that I'm perplexed at why someone would transition from node to bun and not node to Deno.

How did you integrate with all those services (the third party service APIs, not asking about the DBs)? I've seen a bunch of sites do this and I'm curious if there's some open source library I should be using, so that I don't need to write from scratch each time I'd like to integrate with another service.

Edit: just saw "airbyte" in a bunch of places, which I assume answers my question. So updated question: airbyte works well for ya?
