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.
Copilot's model roster churns weekly while GitHub quietly rewires policy and billing plumbing
GitHub ships to the Copilot surface almost daily — model swaps, IDE features, usage reporting — while the platform underneath gets steady governance work. This window has Microsoft's MAI-Code line moving to a 1.1 refresh with vision, a GitHub Enterprise Server 3.22 release candidate, and branch protection finally getting a one-click path onto rulesets. Deprecation notices arrive in the same stream as the launches.

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.
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.

The Copilot IDE clients are where the real capability shifts land now — JetBrains just got persistent memory and local model execution through Ollama, the first time Copilot answers can come from a model the customer runs. Policy surfaces are consolidating: rulesets absorb branch protection, enterprise managed settings absorb MCP allowlists. The model catalog keeps rotating on a roughly monthly cadence with paired deprecation notices.
Memory and local-model support should reach the VS Code and Visual Studio clients next, and GHES 3.22 will go GA within a few weeks of this release candidate.
