Pretty cool. I’ve been using Bunny as a Cloudflare replacement for a couple of years and my experience has been flawless.

jsheard•1h ago

It does feel like they're spreading their resources pretty thin though, the S3-compatible interface for their file storage has been "coming soon" since 2022.

kilroy123•1h ago

I, too, have the same worry.

pier25•1h ago

Yeah that's true. The lack of S3 compat hasn't been an issue for me personally but it would be nice to have it for their edge storage.

cobertos•1h ago

Huh, how? Did you have to modify your site a lot to do switch?

I tried to test it out as a CDN replacement for Cloudflare but the workflow was a lot different. Instead of just using DNS to put it in front of another website and proxy the requests (the "orange cloud" button), I had to upload all the assets to Bunny and then rewrite the URLs in my app. Was kind of a pain

pier25•1h ago

They do have the CDN proxy too. Not sure when it was implemented though.

It's a similar process to Cloudflare. Point the NS to them and enable the proxy for a domain or subdomain.

jsheard•1h ago

You can also create a standalone pull zone and point your existing DNS provider to the CNAME they give you.

(don't use CNAME flattening with DNS-routed CDNs like Bunny though, if you must use an apex domain then use the CDNs integrated nameservers)

When I tried it last year, their edge compute infra was just not there yet. It could not do any meaningful server-side rendering because of code size, compute and JS standard constraints.

Has this situation changed?

pier25•24m ago

Not sure what you mean with ssr for a CDN?

no_wizard•12m ago

Edge computing. Cloudflare workers for example.

Bunny has a similarity concept: https://bunny.net/edge-scripting/

Daegalus•22m ago

I have been using them for over a year. THey have the same flow as Cloudflare, point domain to thier CDN, set CDN Pull Zone to target your server. I havent had to do anything.

They even support websockets.

Why they cant do is the TUnnel stuff, or at least fake it. I have ipv6 servers, and I can't have the IPv4 Bunny traffic go to the ipv6 only sources.

This sounds a lot like https://turso.tech/ ? Unless I misunderstand, they're both pitching SQLite-for-the-cloud.

Squarex•1h ago

Yes, they mention they use libsql. Don't know why I should use them and not the product by the actual libsql authors.

pier25•1h ago

An advantage is the integration with other Bunny services like containers etc.

Also, not sure about now, but historically Turso didn't have to best uptime.

PhilippGille•55m ago

Some European companies migrate their dependencies from US clouds to European ones. Turso is registered in Delaware. Bunny HQ is in Slovenia. Different data related policies apply.

Why choose this over Cloudflare D1?

nickorlow•1h ago

Not a technical reason, but given Cloudflare's recent business practices where they hold you hostage if you don't upgrade to an enterprise plan are a pretty good reason to avoid imo.

jsheard•1h ago

For one they're EU-based, which may be a selling point if you're inclined to divest from US tech when possible.

Cloudflare IPs might not work in Spain during football matches :)

It looks like there might be issues in Italy too.

benjymo•55m ago

Some ISPs have bad peering with Cloudflare (e.g. Deutsche Telekom). Not Cloudflares fault but it makes it a bad choice if your customers are in Germany.

And Cloudflare is an american company.

Pricing Details:

  While in public preview, Bunny Database is free.

  When idle, Bunny Database only incurs storage costs. One primary region is charged continuously, while read replicas only add storage costs when serving traffic (metered by the hour).

  Reads - $0.30 per billion rows
  Writes - $0.30 per million rows
  Storage - $0.10 per GB per active region (monthly)

replwoacause•1h ago

Is this good for write heavy loads or does it face the same constraints as regular SQLite?

koakuma-chan•50m ago

Why couldn't they just use SQLite, and not libSQL?

zackify•49m ago

why this over turso or litestream + read replicas?

drmajormccheese•22m ago

This is not a database of bunnies

sockaddr•22m ago

That's the only reason that I clicked.

mchusma•20m ago

I have used multiple s3 and cdn replacements, and bunny is my favorite. Excited to see a database product in the mix.

rawgabbit•18m ago

It seems Bunny is competing with Cloudflare. They offer very similar services including CDN, video streaming, databases etc.

endymion-light•14m ago

Looks cool, I need an alternative to my supabase set-up for little web tools, so i'll check it out!
