Bunny.net (aka Bunny CDN) is a Slovenian CDN provider that grew from a single developer’s project into a platform with 114 points of presence. The main selling point — predictable pricing and speed that holds its own against the giants.

What Bunny Offers
Bunny’s CDN is built on its own server network, spread across 114+ locations in 80+ countries. This isn’t rented capacity from AWS — it’s their own hardware, which means control over latency.
Beyond classic pull- and push-CDN, Bunny also offers:
- Bunny Storage — geo-replicated object storage (S3-compatible API, $0.01/GB)
- Bunny Stream — video streaming with transcoding and adaptive bitrate
- Bunny DNS — DNS zone management
- Bunny Optimizer — automatic on-the-fly image optimization
This is a full-fledged edge platform, not just a CDN.
Performance
Bunny uses SSD caching on all edge nodes. Benchmarks show latency of 10–30ms from major regions. In Europe, Bunny consistently beats Cloudflare on cold cache; in the US — it’s a tie.
HTTP/3 support, Brotli, on-the-fly compression, Edge Rules for custom routing. Free TLS certificates with auto-renewal. Everything you’d expect from a CDN in 2026.
Money
Bunny’s pricing is one of the reasons for its popularity:
- Traffic: from $0.01/GB (Europe and US) to $0.03/GB (Asia-Pacific)
- Storage: $0.01/GB/month (Bunny Storage)
- Streaming: $0.005/minute of processed video + $0.01/GB delivery
No minimum commit, no hidden fees, pay-as-you-go. For a project with 1 TB of monthly traffic, the bill comes to $10–15. Most competitors charge $30–50.
Who It’s For
Developers tired of AWS CloudFront’s complex billing. Media site owners who need fast image and video delivery. Indie projects — Bunny has an excellent free tier and simple integration.
Bunny is not for enterprises that need managed WAF, advanced bot protection, and enterprise support. For those scenarios, Cloudflare is still ahead on security features.
A Few Words on the Downsides
The documentation exists but is patchy in places. Some features (Bunny DNS, Stream) launched later than the core offering and are still catching up in maturity. The control panel is functional but not always intuitive — the button you’re looking for might be on an unexpected tab.
Tech support — email and Discord. They respond quickly, but in 2026 you’d hope for live chat.
Verdict
Bunny CDN is my personal choice for small and medium projects. Honest pricing, excellent speed, no billing surprises. The Slovenian team has built a product that solves “fast content delivery” without unnecessary complexity. Highly recommended.
