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 Weaviate?

Weaviate pushes from vector database toward agent-facing retrieval and memory infrastructure.

Weaviate's feed is a genuine engineering blog that mixes dated releases with technical deep-dives. The recent window is dense with real movement: the 1.38 release takes the built-in MCP Server and a disk-based vector index to GA, Engram (managed agent memory) reaches GA, Weaviate Cloud gains a free tier, and Cloud RBAC expands. The throughline is a deliberate move up the stack from storage toward agent infrastructure.

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.

7.5

Weaviate pushes from vector database toward agent-facing retrieval and memory infrastructure.

◆ Current state

Weaviate's feed is a genuine engineering blog that mixes dated releases with technical deep-dives. The recent window is dense with real movement: the 1.38 release takes the built-in MCP Server and a disk-based vector index to GA, Engram (managed agent memory) reaches GA, Weaviate Cloud gains a free tier, and Cloud RBAC expands. The throughline is a deliberate move up the stack from storage toward agent infrastructure.

◆ Where it's heading

Every major item points the same direction — MCP for agent access, Engram for agent memory, Boost API and disk-based indexing for retrieval quality and scale. Weaviate is repositioning from 'vector database' to the retrieval-and-memory layer agentic applications run on, while using a free Cloud tier to widen the top of the funnel.

◆ Prediction

Expect the 1.38 preview features (Boost API, Nested Object Filtering) to move toward GA and further investment in the agent-memory and MCP surfaces. The open question is how aggressively Engram and the MCP Server get productized into the paid Cloud tiers.
