Hono is a small, simple, and ultrafast web framework for the Edges. It works on Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, Deno, Bun, Vercel, AWS Lambda, and Node.js.

Why use Hono?

• Ultra-Fast: Built for edge runtimes with minimal overhead
• Lightweight: Small bundle size (~12KB) with zero dependencies
• TypeScript: First-class TypeScript support with end-to-end type safety
• Middleware: Rich ecosystem of built-in and third-party middleware
• Edge-First: Optimized for Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, and other edge platforms
• Web Standard: Built on Web Standards API (Request/Response)

Modules

AWS Lambda

Link to AWS Lambda

Deploy your Hono application to AWS Lambda with automatic request/response transformation.

Technical changes:

• Inline modification pattern: This module uses conditional template logic instead of separate files
• Modifies src/index.ts to expose the handler function for AWS Lambda:

  + import { handle } from 'hono/aws-lambda';
  import app from './app'; // hono app
  
  + export const handler = handle(app);

• When enabled:
  • Imports handle adapter from hono/aws-lambda
  • Exports handler function wrapping the Hono app (Lambda entry point)
  • Transforms incoming Lambda events to Hono requests
  • Transforms Hono responses to Lambda responses
• When disabled:
  • Exports raw Hono app for standard Node.js server
