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 Tigris?

Tigris keeps publishing its architecture, and the newest post opens up the storage engine itself.

This feed is Tigris's engineering blog, and it alternates between protocol critique and descriptions of how the product answers it. The most recent post opens the internals: how Tigris composes ACID metadata, global placement, caching, replication, and background work on FoundationDB into a multi-region object store. Before it came the Recycle Bin — deletion of objects and buckets on top of immutable storage in an active-active geo-replicated database — plus two posts dissecting SigV4 and presigned URLs, and one on agent-native onboarding through tigris init --agent.

6.3

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.

5.0

Tigris keeps publishing its architecture, and the newest post opens up the storage engine itself.

◆ Current state

This feed is Tigris's engineering blog, and it alternates between protocol critique and descriptions of how the product answers it. The most recent post opens the internals: how Tigris composes ACID metadata, global placement, caching, replication, and background work on FoundationDB into a multi-region object store. Before it came the Recycle Bin — deletion of objects and buckets on top of immutable storage in an active-active geo-replicated database — plus two posts dissecting SigV4 and presigned URLs, and one on agent-native onboarding through tigris init --agent.

◆ Where it's heading

The writing is doing product work. Each protocol post establishes a problem — SigV4's canonicalization and clock skew, presigned URLs as deliberate replay attacks, S3 egress pricing on ClickHouse restores — and positions Tigris behavior as the answer, which makes the blog a migration funnel rather than a changelog. The architecture post is a different move: publishing the FoundationDB composition is a credibility play aimed at buyers who need to believe a newer object store can hold multi-region data.

◆ Prediction

Expect the protocol-critique-then-Tigris-answer format to continue, with the egress-cost framing recurring as the clearest paid migration path. Feature announcements will likely stay embedded in essays rather than appearing as release notes.
