I've been following Bunny (BunnyCDN/Bunny.net) for a while and love what they are doing. Couple of suggestions: • Every code snippet should be copy/pasteable (and work well), that article might be the entry point to what many are doing. • I have this feeling this is following Cloudflare's Workers style of `addEventListener('fetch', eventHandler);`. I need to write a 500-word essay on that, but the short version is th…

  import { Router } from 'itty-router';
  import { exportedObject } from './some/other/file';

  const router = Router();

  router.get('/update', async (request: Request, event: FetchEvent) => exportedObject.update(request, event));

  router.all('*', () => new Response('404, not found!', { status: 404 }));

  addEventListener('fetch', (event: FetchEvent) => {
 event.respondWith(router.handle(event.request, event));
  });

> I strongly believe that it'd be way better for their clients if the client could just do `export default async function handleDns(event) { ... }` I'm the tech lead of Cloudflare Workers and you're absolutely right about this. We actually introduced such a syntax as an option a while back and are encouraging people to move to it: https://blog.cloudflare.com/workers-javascript-modules/ Your argument is exactly one of…

Thanks! This article is pretty much what I had in mind and exactly my 500-words argument! I don't know how I missed it. This is def one of the things that made me think Cloudflare Workers were not so polished. Are you hiring? I've got many more ideas where this came from :)

Now I'm curious. Do you have a link for the geo-ip unreliability by any chance?

geo-ip has never returned the correct state for me (across 3 different ISPs). The automatic Timezone detection on phones also rarely works correctly here. So I can easily believe that it’s wildly inaccurate for a significant amount of the world.

>They had me at the combination of the words "scriptable" and "DNS." Same, but then they lost me at Javascript.

I know that we all have our preferences of langauges, but is Javascript in 2022 actually any worse than anything else as a scripting language? What would you prefer instead?

We serve thousands of custom domains for our SaaS customers. The end users of these domains are globally distributed and served from 14 different data centre locations across the world. To do the geo IP matching we tried a lot of things, third party services etc but couldn't find one that works well and are priced well. For example, the hosted DNS service we use also have a IP based filter chain feature but are price…
