Yeah I'm in the same boat. I was pretty excited to bring stuff over from Cloudflare but the missing S3 compat. and the communication around that was (and still is) a dealbreaker for me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

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)

> don't use CNAME flattening with DNS-routed CDNs like Bunny though

What is the problem with doing that?

Is this supposed to be a distributed DB that auto-synchronizes instances? Documentation doesn't seem to say anything about that.

If not, it seems like it would be quite a bit of work to implement the synchronization... and I don't understand why one would use it otherwise.

Pretty cool. I’ve been using Bunny as a Cloudflare replacement for a couple of years and my experience has been flawless.

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.

S3 is currently in closed preview with some users. It's quite easy to get added for those keen to try it. More using it and providing feedback, the quicker it'll become public preview.

I'd like it too. The new docs do refer to it e.g:

> When S3 compatibility is enabled (currently in beta), the number of available replication points is reduced

I assume it's a private beta.

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

It should work as a drop in. You can just proxy your website. You don’t need to upload anything to Bunny (but you can if you want).

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…

It's not about it being hard, it's about delegating. Many companies are a bit less sensitive to pricing and would rather pay monthly for someone else to keep their database up, rather than spending engineering hours on setting up a database, tuning it, updating it, checking its backups, monitoring it and making it scale if needed. Sure, any regular SME can just install Postgres or MySQL without even setting much up e…

Or at least they should. I’ve worked many places where thousands of dollars in engineering hours were wasted on something after they refused to use a service for a fraction of the cost. Some companies understand this but others don’t.

When I tried it last year, their edge compute infra was just not there yet. It could not do any meaningful server-side rendering because of code size, compute and JS standard constraints. Has this situation changed?

I haven’t tried to do SSR in bunny but they also have bunny magic containers now where you run an entire container instead of just edge scripts (but still at the edge).
