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.

This 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.

I, too, have the same worry.

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

Why choose this over Cloudflare D1?

Pricing Details:

  While in public preview, Bunny Database is free.

  When idle, Bunny Database only incurs storage costs. One primary region is charged continuously, while read replicas only add storage costs when serving traffic (metered by the hour).

  Reads - $0.30 per billion rows
  Writes - $0.30 per million rows
  Storage - $0.10 per GB per active region (monthly)

Not a technical reason, but given Cloudflare's recent business practices where they hold you hostage if you don't upgrade to an enterprise plan are a pretty good reason to avoid imo.
