Bunny Storage
Pros
- + Free delivery into Bunny CDN, free API egress, and zero request fees — the opposite of hyperscaler billing
- + Simple pricing: $0.01/GB per region Standard (HDD), $0.02/GB Edge (SSD), $1 monthly minimum
- + 15 storage regions with automatic replication and region failover; 99.99% availability SLA
- + S3-compatible API (rclone, presigned URLs, SHA256 checksums) plus HTTP API, FTP/SFTP, and web file manager
- + One-click integration as origin for Bunny pull zones, with Perma-Cache for permanent edge storage
Cons
- - S3 compatibility is in public preview and must be enabled per zone at creation — not a finished S3 platform
- - No cold/archive tier: backup-style retention pays full Standard or Edge rates
- - Edge SSD tier's primary region is Frankfurt only; Standard zones can be created in any region
- - Free egress is scoped to Bunny CDN — neutral multi-cloud storage architectures will feel constrained
- - Unverified claim in the old listing: object versioning and CORS specifics were not documented on reviewed pages
AWS CloudFront
Pros
- + Always Free Tier (1 TB transfer, 10M requests, 2M function invocations monthly) covers small sites at zero cost
- + 750+ edge PoPs with 15 regional edge caches — one of the largest delivery networks available
- + Programmable edge: CloudFront Functions and Lambda@Edge with a KeyValueStore for config
- + Native WAF, Shield Standard DDoS protection, free ACM certificates and tight S3/ALB integration
Cons
- - SLA is 99.9% — weaker than AWS's load balancer SLA — and flat-rate Free/Pro plans carry no uptime commitment
- - Two pricing models (pay-as-you-go tiers vs flat-rate plans) with features gated to Business ($200/month) and above
- - Deep configuration surface: cache behavior ordering, TTL semantics and invalidation costs at scale
- - Edge compute and access-control bindings are AWS-specific — hard to migrate to another CDN
