There are size limits when deploying on serverless or edge infrastructure so developers have to care about that. The providers also typically charge by compute seconds * memory consumed so a larger executable costs real money as well.

The compiled option isn’t intended for serverless or edge uses, you just deploy the source files and the platform takes over.

Some serverless use cases work like you say, but Docker-based options such as AWS ECS, Docker-based Lambda functions, or Kubernetes would all commonly make use of compiled options

No, you won't use compiled option in k8s or any other container based deployment.

You would use deno as base layer, your dependencies in another layer, your code is in the last layer.
