I worked on some of this - happy to answer questions :)

When you run `kv = await Deno.openKv()` locally it opens a SQLite database. On Deno Deploy it opens a connection to FoundationDB. How does that mechanism work? Is it using the same URL mechanism as the new Deno.openKv(URL) thing?

[lucacasonato]

Yes, sort of - on Deno Deploy the authentication doesn't come from a token in env vars, but from intrinsic security tickets baked into the Deno Deploy system. Also, it's a bit faster on first connect, because compared to KV connect we can skip the metadata exchange[1] because the information it provides is already present in Deno Deploy through other means. Both the backend service and frontend API (JS->KV) is the same though :)

Typo in your blog post: "first processed at the primary pegion"

What's the cost of additional read regions?

[lucacasonato]

Storage cost + write ops are multiplied by region count

Is it like a businessmodel for Deno?

[lucacasonato]

Yes, the hosted KV solution built into Deno Deploy is one of the ways Deno makes money.
