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 Speakeasy?

Speakeasy stopped inventorying MCP servers and started adjudicating them.

Speakeasy ships near-daily platform releases with unusually legible notes — each headline states what changed for a user, not a version number. The current one turns the Shadow MCP page into a single review surface where every server carries an approval state and an automatically gathered evidence dossier: publisher, requested scopes, declared capabilities, maintenance signals, and whether internal teams already talk to it. Decisions enforce on record. Around it, the assistant surfaces have been consolidating: one detail panel for configuration and observation, exact session totals, and canonical identities folding a person's work and personal AI accounts together.

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.

10.0

Speakeasy stopped inventorying MCP servers and started adjudicating them.

◆ Current state

Speakeasy ships near-daily platform releases with unusually legible notes — each headline states what changed for a user, not a version number. The current one turns the Shadow MCP page into a single review surface where every server carries an approval state and an automatically gathered evidence dossier: publisher, requested scopes, declared capabilities, maintenance signals, and whether internal teams already talk to it. Decisions enforce on record. Around it, the assistant surfaces have been consolidating: one detail panel for configuration and observation, exact session totals, and canonical identities folding a person's work and personal AI accounts together.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc runs observe, then intercept, now adjudicate. Earlier releases catalogued spend and inventoried shadow MCP servers; the LiteLLM integration moved enforcement to the proxy so a violating prompt dies before inference; this release supplies the judgment layer, doing the research an approver would otherwise do by hand. The supporting work points the same way — prompt-injection scanning of captured skill manifests, risk policies that pause instead of being deleted, identity resolution that reports a whole person rather than an account. Each is a piece a control plane needs before its verdicts can be trusted.

◆ Prediction

Expect approval state to start gating traffic rather than only recording a decision, and the evidence dossier to extend from MCP servers to the skills and assistants already being captured. The rollout flag on the approval workflow suggests general availability is the next step rather than new capability.
