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.
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.
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.
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.)
- 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
