## What it is
Lagon is an open-source runtime and platform for deploying TypeScript and JavaScript serverless functions at the edge, built on a Rust runtime using V8 Isolates. It includes a CLI, a dashboard/API, and can be used via Lagon Cloud or self-hosted.

## Use cases
- deploy serverless functions at the edge
- self-host a serverless functions platform
- run JavaScript APIs close to users with V8 isolates
- deploy SSR websites and webhook endpoints
- run cron jobs as serverless functions
- develop and test edge functions locally via CLI

## When to choose
- you want an open-source alternative to Cloudflare Workers you can self-host
- you need lightweight, fast-cold-start function execution via V8 isolates
- you want to deploy APIs, SSR sites, or webhooks from a simple CLI

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, stable platform (project is in Alpha with breaking changes)
- you rely on the full Node.js API surface rather than Web APIs
- you need long-running server processes instead of short-lived functions
