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

Bunny is more like Cloudflare. Database is just 1 part of their offering. They're doing full service edge compute, storage and CDN.

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…

Jamie from bunny.net here. Apologies for the delay after announcing S3. Building this required deeper changes to our storage foundation than initially anticipated, while ensuring that existing storage customers remained unaffected.

For clarity, S3 compatibility for Bunny Storage is now live in closed preview (since Jan 2026) with a select set of users.

We’ll soon introduce a sign-up page where users can register their interest, and in the next phase we’ll grant access to invited users.

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-co…

Marek from bunny.net here. To connect to Bunny Database you can use one of the SDKs (TS, Go, Rust, and .NET) or the HTTP endpoint which is documented here: https://docs.bunny.net/database/connect/sql-api

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

Marek from bunny.net here. Bunny Database works best for read-heavy use cases with fewer concurrent writes. Like SQLite, it follows a single-writer model, so there’s one writer at a time per database.

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

Marek from bunny.net here. Another advantage is our global network: Bunny Database is available in 41 regions, so if your app has global users (or users in specific locations), you can avoid workarounds to hide latency from the DB.

We actually ran a benchmark to see how read latency degrades with distance from the database: https://bunny.net/blog/how-database-location-affects-far-awa...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Any experience with their DNS? Asking for a friend ;) only problem I've seen so far is lack of DS record support.

I've been using their DNS (migrating away from Cloudflare) for over a year and I've found it solid. Good latency and fast propagation. Custom nameservers are easy to setup. Migrating from CF is easy too - just export your zonefile from CF and import it to Bunny and you're good to go.

Cool, thank you!

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…

Hey, I’m Joe, Lead of Content Delivery & Security at bunny.net.

We’re currently working through a backlog of approximately 2.5M log files. I’ve spent the last day optimizing our backlog processing pipeline, which has significantly increased throughput.

Based on the current processing rate, we expect the backlog to be fully cleared within the next 12–18 hours (estimate), and real-time log delivery should progressively return closer to real-time as the backlog drains.

Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused. We’re also in the process of migrating away from our existing logging infrastructure to a ClickHouse-based system to significantly improve reliability and throughput and prevent this from happening again.

We’ve published a status page incident and will continue posting updates there as progress is made.

User critisised missing transparency and trust.

Company apologises for delay.

The comedic timing is insane.

I've been using their DNS (and CDN) for a good while. Only positive experiences - fast & rock solid. I would start a new project with them again in future.

I've also tried some of their new more experimental stuff (magic containers, edge scripting) and it's much rougher, but the core product is very good imo.

I wish they'd focus more instead there tbh, there's plenty more that could be done in terms of core content delivery, without trying to enter other (very competitive & I think much more complicated) markets like serverless hosting.
