bunny.net review

bunny.net is a vendor-operated global edge platform: a hosted set of services that sits between applications, origin servers and end users. Its CDN serves content from edge locations; Storage offers hot object storage replicated around the world; Stream handles video delivery; and Shield and DNS cover security and routing. For compute, Edge Scripting and Magic Containers are positioned for running applications at the edge. The homepage also lists SQLite-compatible databases and Optimizer for image processing.

That puts bunny.net alongside application infrastructure rather than inside an application as a library. A team can use it to deliver assets, video and images, route DNS, and run some workloads closer to users. The homepage lists 119+ edge locations, but that network footprint does not by itself establish performance for a particular route or workload. Treat it as a collection of hosted products: map each service to its role in your stack, then check its integration and operational details before moving production traffic.

The homepage presents hosted products rather than a language-specific library: CDN, Stream, Storage, Edge Scripting, Magic Containers, Database, Shield, Optimizer and DNS. It says Magic Containers can deploy apps globally and describes Database as SQLite-compatible, but gives no implementation details in that product overview. The deployment workflow for Edge Scripting and Magic Containers is therefore the relevant starting point for compute; CDN, storage and DNS need to fit your delivery and infrastructure configuration.

Before choosing bunny.net, confirm the vendor’s documentation for API protocol and endpoints, SDK availability by language, authentication, deployment workflow and any CLI or framework integrations your team needs. The homepage does not name a programming language or SDK, so do not assume your preferred stack has a maintained client. Also verify how configuration, logs and monitoring connect to your existing deployment pipeline. The vendor advertises real-time monitoring, but check which products and metrics it covers.

The pricing details list no permanent free plan. The homepage offers a 14-day free trial and says no credit card is required. After that, CDN use is pay-as-you-go, with a $1 monthly minimum. The Standard network has 119 PoPs and charges $0.01/GB in Europe and North America, $0.045/GB in South America, $0.03/GB in Asia and Oceania, and $0.06/GB in the Middle East and Africa.

The Volume network has 10 PoPs: $0.005/GB for the first 500 TB, $0.004/GB from 500 TB to 1 PB, and $0.002/GB from 1 PB to 2 PB. From 2 PB, the listed instruction is to contact sales. These are network-specific CDN rates; confirm which network and regions match your traffic before estimating a bill. Annual billing is not listed. Prices for Stream, Storage, compute, Shield and other products are not published in these CDN rates, and add-on prices are not listed. Ask for the full service-level cost of your workload.

bunny.net is presented as a hosted platform, not software to install on your own servers. A self-hosting route and an open-source licence are not published; teams that require either should ask the vendor before committing. The same applies to data export: confirm what can be exported, in what format, and what happens to stored objects, configuration and logs when an account closes.

Migration effort depends on which products you adopt. CDN delivery can generally be moved by changing delivery and DNS configuration, but dependencies on Bunny-specific storage, video, edge scripts or Magic Containers may require replacements and application changes. Keep origin storage and deployment artifacts accessible outside the platform where practical, and document DNS, cache and security configuration. The platform combines several services, but that convenience can increase the amount of configuration and workload you need to move later.

The homepage lists 119+ edge locations, 1 million+ requests per second and 250 Tbps+ network capacity. These are vendor-published network figures, not a guarantee for a particular region, route or application. Validate cache behavior, origin failover, traffic patterns and security settings with your own workload. The homepage advertises DDoS protection, free SSL certificates and real-time monitoring; confirm the scope and configuration of each for the products you plan to use.

Reddit feedback is mixed. One commenter reports running Bunny in production but says its IPv6 support is weaker and that it does not seem to support QUIC/HTTP/3. Another commenter agrees on IPv6 and HTTP/3 concerns, while framing them as trade-offs rather than blockers. A commenter in a separate hosting thread says Magic Containers need better billing and reporting and are still in beta. Treat these as individual reports, not universal findings. Check current protocol support, product status, regional behavior, limits and billing details with the vendor before routing critical workloads.
