Why choose this over Cloudflare D1?
For one they're EU-based, which may be a selling point if you're inclined to divest from US tech when possible.

#12Is this good for write heavy loads or does it face the same constraints as regular SQLite?
Re: Bunny Database
#13Pretty cool. I’ve been using Bunny as a Cloudflare replacement for a couple of years and my experience has been flawless.
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
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.

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.
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.

Cloudflare IPs might not work in Spain during football matches :)
It looks like there might be issues in Italy too.

#16This sounds a lot like https://turso.tech/ ? Unless I misunderstand, they're both pitching SQLite-for-the-cloud.
Yes, they mention they use libsql. Don't know why I should use them and not the product by the actual libsql authors.
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.

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)

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.

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.
