I've been struggling with Bunny the last couple of days. Their log delivery api is delayed by over 3 days, despite them promising only "up to 5 minutes delay" in their docs: https://docs.bunny.net/cdn/logging Why isn't it on the status page you might ask? Oh, that's because a delay is not "critical", but I fear I am losing loglines now, their retention is 3 days. It's an interesting strategy for them, because it does…

I’m seeing log delays too the past couple of days… something like 14 hours, in my case.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The vast majority of products with paying customers need better availability than “database went down on Friday and I was AFK until Monday, sorry for the 3 day downtime everyone”

If you're offering a hosted service, I've got bad news for you. Serverless, managed databases and even multicloud won't save you. You'll still have to be on call. Don't want to be on call? Design your stuff so it works local first.

Local first stuff can also break, so that's not a foolproof plan.

The "Wait, what does “SQLite-compatible” actually mean?" subheading didn't answer my question to be honest. They're using (forked) libSQL under the hood - ok, cool. But how do I interface with it?

They don't elaborate, but apparently libSQL has an HTTP API called "Hrana": https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql/blob/main/docs/HRANA... - if that's what they're exposing, wouldn't it make more sense to call it libSQL-compatible or something?

Yes, libSQL would fit better in that case. But all of it is marketing for better audience ;) (SQLite got x69 more searches than libSQL in Google).

At 14:00 UTC, I was still seeing requests from 2026-02-01, and none from today, the order also seems random.

Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I wonder if they're stretching themselves too thin? Their CDN product is rock solid IME and so is their video streaming, but they've been adding a lot more "developer-platform" type products, seemingly trying to catch up to CF, and I'm not sure I'll ever trust it enough in terms of staying-power to ever commit to the vendor lock-in there. (I wouldn't with Cloudflare either, to be fair)

fwiw, Bunny are the people that announced S3 compatibility for their object storage in Q2 2022 [1] > We can’t wait to have this available as a preview later in Q2 and truly make global storage a breeze, so keep an eye out! then apologised for missing that in September 2023 [2] > We initially announced that we were working on S3 support for Bunny Storage all the way back in 2022. Today, as 2023 is slowly coming to an…

I've stood up their CDN in front of a bucket at S3 and interact with the bucket for any actual operations.

Maybe I'm not the target market for this, but how hard is it REALLY to manage a RDBMS? Any Linux distro can have MySQL or Postgres installed in less than five minutes and works out of the box Even a single core VPS can handle lots of queries per second (assuming the tables are indexed properly and the queries aren't trash) There are mature open source backup solutions which don't require DB downtime (also available i…

> Maybe I'm not the target market for this, but how hard is it REALLY to manage a RDBMS? It depends: - do you want multi region presence - do you want snapshot backups - do you want automated replication - do you want transparent failover - do you want load balancing of queries - do you want online schema migrations with millisecond lock time - do you want easy reverts in time - do you want minor versions automatical…

> There's a lot that hosted services with extra features can give you.

I totally agree with that, but in my experience 99% of "application developers" don't need all these features. Of those you listed, I only see "backups" as a requirement. Everything else is just - what I said - features for when your application is successful and you want something streamlined.
