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

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
Depending on your precise requirements, I think it might have changed.
I've been trying out Bunny recently and it looks like a very viable replacement for most things I currently do with Cloudflare. This new database fills one of the major gaps.
Their edge scripting is based on Deno, and I think is pretty comparable to e.g. Vercel. They also have "magic containers", comparable to AWS ECS but (I think) much more convenient. It sounds from the docs like they run containers close to the edge, but I don't know if it's comparable to e.g. Lambda@Edge.
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).
Edge computing. Cloudflare workers for example.
Bunny has a similarity concept: https://bunny.net/edge-scripting/
I have been using them for over a year. THey have the same flow as Cloudflare, point domain to thier CDN, set CDN Pull Zone to target your server. I havent had to do anything.
They even support websockets.
Why they cant do is the TUnnel stuff, or at least fake it. I have ipv6 servers, and I can't have the IPv4 Bunny traffic go to the ipv6 only sources.
Amazing. I had not noticed they support websockets now. That was always what I missed from CF.
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).
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.
