Bun vs Sanity
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Bun and Sanity — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Bun vs Sanity: at a glance
What is Bun?
Bun 1.4.4 adds bun fmt, a built-in Prettier-compatible formatter, two weeks after bun check.
Bun now covers formatting as well as type checking: v1.4.4 ships bun fmt, a Prettier-compatible formatter it says is 3-6x faster than oxfmt, and makes bun check 1.4-7.8x faster on large projects. The same release closes 271 issues, migrates Yarn Berry lockfiles, adds install retries with backoff, and cuts Bun.SQL CPU per query by up to 48%.
What is Sanity?
Sanity's MCP server now advertises itself to agents through a server card and llms.txt.
Sanity shipped three MCP server releases in two days. 2.44.0 makes the server discoverable through a /.well-known server card, an HTML or markdown landing page, robots.txt and llms.txt, and cuts CPU per request. 2.43.0 adds an undeploy_schema tool and deprecates workspaceName for schema selection. 2.42.2 fixes validation against deployed schemas and refuses patches that would change a document's _type.
Bun vs Sanity: editorial side-by-side
Bun
6.3DEVOPS
Bun 1.4.4 adds bun fmt, a built-in Prettier-compatible formatter, two weeks after bun check.
◆ Current state
Bun now covers formatting as well as type checking: v1.4.4 ships bun fmt, a Prettier-compatible formatter it says is 3-6x faster than oxfmt, and makes bun check 1.4-7.8x faster on large projects. The same release closes 271 issues, migrates Yarn Berry lockfiles, adds install retries with backoff, and cuts Bun.SQL CPU per query by up to 48%.
◆ Where it's heading
After the Rust rewrite in July and bun check in v1.4.3, Bun is absorbing the remaining steps of a TypeScript toolchain one release at a time. Package-manager reliability work (Yarn Berry migration, retries, faster hoisted installs) shows it is also going after teams still on other package managers.
◆ Prediction
Expect a linter or lint mode next to round out the check/fmt pair, and more lockfile migrations aimed at pnpm and Yarn users.
Sanity
5.0DEVOPS
Sanity's MCP server now advertises itself to agents through a server card and llms.txt.
◆ Current state
Sanity shipped three MCP server releases in two days. 2.44.0 makes the server discoverable through a /.well-known server card, an HTML or markdown landing page, robots.txt and llms.txt, and cuts CPU per request. 2.43.0 adds an undeploy_schema tool and deprecates workspaceName for schema selection. 2.42.2 fixes validation against deployed schemas and refuses patches that would change a document's _type.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server is becoming the main way agents read and write Sanity content, and the work has shifted from adding tools to making it safe and findable: guarded patches, accurate safety annotations, full schema lifecycle and discovery metadata. Studio and Manage continue alongside it with speed work and admin features for larger organizations.
◆ Prediction
Expect workspaceName to be removed after the migration period, and more guardrails on write tools such as patch_documents.
