The Verdict
Deno Deploy is built for typescript developers and edge computing, with a focus on edge-functions and kv-database. Sourcegraph targets engineering teams and enterprises and leads with code-search and code-navigation.

Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Deno Deploy offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Sourcegraph takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
