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.

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.)

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.

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.

Pro plan without argo give you better peering on Cloudflare?

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.

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.

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.
