> The KV feature in the Deno runtime can be used without the hosting service.

But one writes to foundation, and the other writes to a sqlite file. You wouldn’t be able to self host an app written for Deno Deploy and have it work out of the box.

Are there any plans to open source the KV backend so that people could host their own KV databases? Now that you can connect to remote Kv databases, I suppose someone could implement their own?

Self-hosting should work with a change of configuration, no?

As someone mentioned elsewhere, they have documented the protocol, so yes you could reimplement your own remote KV store.

This is what Java did - JCP created, APIs invented to be implemented by Tomcat, JBoss, fill in your favorite here. Configure your actual instance - in the past this was done with beautiful UIs - total waste of time considering we're in the era of Yaml (FBFW?) configuration.
