What is Bunny.net?

Bunny.net is sprinting on edge breadth — AVIF, API Guardian, seamless migration, and Stream API ergonomics in two weeks.

Bunny.net shipped a heavy April-into-May batch across its full surface area: AVIF input/output in the image Optimizer, image upscaling with resampling, seamless domain migration with DNS-verified SSL, and a new Stream 'Add video library' API endpoint that pre-configures encoding, transcribing, and resolutions in one call. Just outside the recent-six window, API Guardian (April 27) added schema-aware OpenAPI enforcement at the edge inside Bunny Shield. The cadence and breadth is closer to a hyperscaler than a niche CDN.

What is Sanity?

Studio stops being a plugin host and starts being an SDK host.

Sanity ships from many independently versioned packages into one feed: Studio across three live major branches (4.x, 5.x, 6.x), Media Library on date-stamped releases, the MCP server, and the JavaScript client. The last two weeks are consolidation rather than new surface area. Studio 6.10.0 now provides the App SDK out of the box so custom tools call @sanity/sdk-react hooks without wiring their own providers, while the CLI picks up asset uploads and token expiry dates.

Bunny.net is sprinting on edge breadth — AVIF, API Guardian, seamless migration, and Stream API ergonomics in two weeks.

◆ Current state

Bunny.net shipped a heavy April-into-May batch across its full surface area: AVIF input/output in the image Optimizer, image upscaling with resampling, seamless domain migration with DNS-verified SSL, and a new Stream 'Add video library' API endpoint that pre-configures encoding, transcribing, and resolutions in one call. Just outside the recent-six window, API Guardian (April 27) added schema-aware OpenAPI enforcement at the edge inside Bunny Shield. The cadence and breadth is closer to a hyperscaler than a niche CDN.

◆ Where it's heading

Bunny.net is staying the affordable alternative to Cloudflare and Fastly while matching feature breadth release-by-release. The trajectory keeps adding capabilities up the stack — first CDN, then image optimization, then video streaming, now API security and zero-downtime migration. Each addition is a reason to consolidate workloads on Bunny instead of stitching multiple vendors. Expect continued pressure on the edge incumbents from below.

◆ Prediction

Watch for AI-related edge primitives — model-serving at the edge, AI inference workers — that would put Bunny.net into Cloudflare Workers AI territory. The Stream API expansion suggests video AI (auto-transcription, scene detection) is also imminent.

7.5

Studio stops being a plugin host and starts being an SDK host.

◆ Current state

Sanity ships from many independently versioned packages into one feed: Studio across three live major branches (4.x, 5.x, 6.x), Media Library on date-stamped releases, the MCP server, and the JavaScript client. The last two weeks are consolidation rather than new surface area. Studio 6.10.0 now provides the App SDK out of the box so custom tools call @sanity/sdk-react hooks without wiring their own providers, while the CLI picks up asset uploads and token expiry dates.

◆ Where it's heading

Two tracks run in parallel. One is a housekeeping migration - ESM-only packages, Node 22.12 floors, and the same bugfix backported across 4.x and 5.x in the same afternoon - which is cost being paid down, not capability being added. The other is the agent surface: the MCP server keeps accreting tools, moving from project administration to content operations with asset upload and schema discovery. The Studio/SDK merge points at a single data layer under both custom Studio tools and standalone Sanity apps.

◆ Prediction

Expect the MCP server to keep adding tools at roughly one release a week, and the App SDK integration to shed its listed limitations - the single shared workspace instance and unregistered named multi-resource lookups are called out as known gaps rather than design choices.
