Best When

You need cost-efficient CDN and object storage for media-heavy applications, especially for video streaming or high-bandwidth asset delivery.

Avoid When

You need sophisticated edge compute, full serverless platform features, or are already locked into AWS CloudFront/GCP CDN.

Use Cases

• Hosting and serving AI-generated static assets, images, and files via global CDN
• Video streaming for AI-generated video content using Bunny Stream with automatic transcoding
• Programmatic cache purging via API after agent content updates
• Edge storage with geo-replication for agent-generated artifacts needing global availability
• Edge scripting to implement custom auth, routing, or transformation logic at CDN PoPs

Not For

• Complex serverless compute beyond simple edge scripting (use Cloudflare Workers)
• Primary database or structured data storage (CDN/object storage only)
• Teams needing enterprise SLA with dedicated support under $500/month

Known Gotchas

⚠ Storage zones and CDN pull zones are separate concepts — upload to storage zone, serve via CDN pull zone pointed at storage
⚠ CDN cache purge can take 30-60 seconds to propagate globally — poll after purge before assuming cache is clear
⚠ Edge scripting uses custom JavaScript runtime, not standard V8 — some Web APIs unavailable
⚠ Token authentication URL signing must match exact query parameter order — canonicalization errors cause 403s
⚠ Bunny Stream video processing is async — poll library/{videoId} for status before attempting playback URL
