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 Scalingo?

Scalingo ships routine runtime maintenance at high cadence while expanding database observability through its SDK.

Scalingo is in a steady maintenance pattern: multiple PHP minor versions, Redis security patches, and nginx stable bumps ship on a near-daily schedule. The go-scalingo SDK is receiving functional additions each release — TokenDelete, application firewall rules, default credential fetching for database endpoints, and the new Missed Database Maintenance event. The Valkey console in CLI 1.49.0 signals early positioning for the Redis → Valkey transition.

B
Bunny.net
DEVOPS
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.

S
Scalingo
DEVOPS
5.0

Scalingo ships routine runtime maintenance at high cadence while expanding database observability through its SDK.

◆ Current state

Scalingo is in a steady maintenance pattern: multiple PHP minor versions, Redis security patches, and nginx stable bumps ship on a near-daily schedule. The go-scalingo SDK is receiving functional additions each release — TokenDelete, application firewall rules, default credential fetching for database endpoints, and the new Missed Database Maintenance event. The Valkey console in CLI 1.49.0 signals early positioning for the Redis → Valkey transition.

◆ Where it's heading

The SDK additions point toward a more complete programmatic database management surface — maintenance event tracking, credential management, and network security at the platform layer. If the application firewall rules from go-scalingo v11.5.0 surface in the Dashboard UI, it marks a real expansion into network security controls. The Missed Maintenance event enables monitoring integrations for production teams who care about database SLA windows. Scalingo's trajectory is incremental platform hardening aimed at teams with stricter compliance and operational requirements.

◆ Prediction

Firewall rules management will appear in the Scalingo Dashboard UI within the next few releases, and the Valkey support track will expand into a first-class Valkey addon as Redis license pressure accelerates migration.
