GoKawiilBlogger migrates DNS and CDN from AWS to Bunny.net
A blog operator switched from Amazon CloudFront and Route 53 to Bunny.net's CDN and DNS services, citing cost savings and scriptable DNS answers. The move dropped geo-aware DNS costs from several dollars a month under Route 53's per-zone, per-query and healthcheck fees to nearly free under Bunny DNS. The operator also disabled logging on Bunny's CDN to limit personal data collection and noted Bunny.net currently lacks HTTP/3 support, though its support team said this is in development.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The switch highlights how smaller, cheaper infrastructure providers can replicate advanced features like geo-DNS and scriptable answers that were once the preserve of major cloud platforms, potentially pressuring incumbents like AWS on pricing for niche or low-traffic use cases. It also reflects growing interest among independent site operators in European-based providers, possibly for cost or data-privacy reasons, though the author does not explicitly state this as a motive beyond mentioning Bunny.net's Slovenian base.
- Bunny DNS now costs almost nothing for up to 500 domains, compared with Route 53's per-zone and per-query fees.
- Bunny.net supports scriptable DNS, letting users run custom JavaScript to compute query responses.
- Bunny's CDN currently lacks HTTP/3 support, though the company says it is being developed without a set timeline.
