fwiw, Bunny are the people that announced S3 compatibility for their object storage in Q2 2022 [1]

> We can’t wait to have this available as a preview later in Q2 and truly make global storage a breeze, so keep an eye out!

then apologised for missing that in September 2023 [2]

> We initially announced that we were working on S3 support for Bunny Storage all the way back in 2022. Today, as 2023 is slowly coming to an end, many of our customers continue to follow our blog, hoping for good news about the release.

changing the roadmap to early 2024 [2]

> But we are working aggressively toward shipping S3 compatibility in early 2024.

That same post also has the beautiful "At bunny.net, we value transparency." quote. It's early 2026, and they're literally ignoring my support requests asking about what the roadmap is looking like for this now.

So, do not trust their product or leadership at all.

Yeah I'm in the same boat. I was pretty excited to bring stuff over from Cloudflare but the missing S3 compat. and the communication around that was (and still is) a dealbreaker for me.

>>fspoet+67
I'd like it too. The new docs do refer to it e.g:

> When S3 compatibility is enabled (currently in beta), the number of available replication points is reduced

I assume it's a private beta.

Why do you want to move from Cloudflare?

Asking because I was looking at both Cloudflare and Bunny literally this week...and I feel like I don't know anything about it. Googling for it, with "hackernews" as keyword to avoid all the blogspam, didn't bring up all that much.

(I ended up with Cloudflare and am sure that for my purposes it doesn't matter at all which I choose.)

>>cschma+(OP)
You left out the part where they realized they couldn't ship S3 compatibility without rebuilding their storage service. So they have decided to rebuild their storage service. Not really a small project. So I can see how its taking longer. At least they were transparent about it.

A couple of reasons:

- The free CDN is basically unusable with my ISP Telekom Germany due to a long-running and well documented peering dispute. This is not necessarily an issue with Cloudflare itself, but means that I have to pay for the Pro plan for every domain if I want to have a functioning site in my home country. The $25 per domain / project add up.

- Cloudflare recently had repeated, long outages that took down my projects for hours at a time.

- Their database offering (D1) had some unpredictable latency spikes that I never managed to fully track down.

- As a European, I'm trying to minimize the money I spent on US cloud services and am actively looking for European alternatives.

It indeed is. Support answer:

> This feature is currently in the closed beta stage. It is not available for use currently, but it's expected to be in the near future. We appreciate your interest in it and will mark your ticket so we can notify you when it's available.

>>fspoet+GG
You don‘t have to get the Pro plan to solve the Deutsche Telekom issues. You can also use their Argo product for $5/month - but only makes sense if your egress costs wouldn‘t exceed the pro plans pricing.

>>tpetry+yW
Pro plan without argo give you better peering on Cloudflare?

>>cschma+(OP)
I've stood up their CDN in front of a bucket at S3 and interact with the bucket for any actual operations.

>>js4eve+NY
The reverse. Argo gives better peering than any paid plan. Its the reason for the product‘s existence. They can use more costly peering that they couldn‘t use with their free egress model.

>>tpetry+m52
Thanks for the pointer, not doubting that is true. My egress is unfortunately too large for it to make financial sense.

However, at the time I did plenty of trace routes to confirm that the Pro plans peering is at least better than the Free plan for the Telekom problem. Free plan would route traffic to NYC and back, while Pro plan traffic terminates in Frankfurt.

>>fspoet+67
Why would you move from Cloudflare to this shady company?

>>cschma+(OP)
Jamie from bunny.net here. Apologies for the delay after announcing S3. Building this required deeper changes to our storage foundation than initially anticipated, while ensuring that existing storage customers remained unaffected.

For clarity, S3 compatibility for Bunny Storage is now live in closed preview (since Jan 2026) with a select set of users.

We’ll soon introduce a sign-up page where users can register their interest, and in the next phase we’ll grant access to invited users.

User critisised missing transparency and trust.

Company apologises for delay.

The comedic timing is insane.

>>7bit+uT2
if anyone reading this would like access to S3, i can get you added.

>>notrab+Sa3
I'd like to be a added, who should I email?

>>notrab+Sa3
I would like to be added so I can benchmark you, in process of picking a EU vendor for data storage.

..internet user points out said comedy.

..Company backtracks on initial apology and s3 access rollout plans and commits to providing immediate s3 access through social media thread replies.
