What is Kyushu?

Kyushu is an open source CLI that lets you write a JavaScript or TypeScript handler, build it into a self-contained WebAssembly binary, and run it anywhere with one command - kyu.

  • No Node, Bun, or Docker - just a single binary
  • Cloudflare Workers-style API - familiar fetch handler
  • Self-hostable - runs on a VPS or anywhere
  • WebAssembly sandbox - isolated from the host
