This quickstart will cover how to deploy a small piece of middleware that reverse proxies another server (in this case example.com). For additional examples of common middleware functions, see the example gallery.

Step 1: Create a new playground project on Deno Deploy

Navigate to https://dash.deno.com/projects and click on the "New Playground" button.

}

Deno.serve(reqHandler);

Click Save and Deploy.

You should see something like this:
