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 FusionAuth?

An auth platform in a hardening cycle, tightening API scope and adding OAuth standards

FusionAuth is shipping a run of security-tightening releases: webhook endpoints now require global API keys, tenant-scoped keys lost access to installation-wide endpoints, and identity-provider linking strategy became immutable. Alongside the hardening it added OAuth resource scoping (RFC 8707) and Lambda Secrets.

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.

F6.3

An auth platform in a hardening cycle, tightening API scope and adding OAuth standards

◆ Current state

FusionAuth is shipping a run of security-tightening releases: webhook endpoints now require global API keys, tenant-scoped keys lost access to installation-wide endpoints, and identity-provider linking strategy became immutable. Alongside the hardening it added OAuth resource scoping (RFC 8707) and Lambda Secrets.

◆ Where it's heading

The dominant theme is correctness and security hygiene — a series of breaking changes that close privilege-scope gaps, plus standards adoption (RFC 8707, PKCE). This reads as a platform maturing its security posture rather than chasing new surface area.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued OAuth/OIDC standards coverage and further API-key scope tightening, with breaking changes flagged and remediated across point releases as the pattern in this window suggests.
