Fastly
Pros
- + Instant Purge with mean global purge under 150 ms and real-time log streaming into your own observability stack
- + Deep programmability: VCL plus Fastly Compute on the same edge network
- + Real free tier: 100 GB bandwidth, 500,000 requests and five TLS domains free every month
- + Large, high-density PoP footprint (100+ cities, 622 Tbps) with strong coverage in Europe and India
- + Unlimited layer 3/4 DDoS mitigation included, HTTP/3 and QUIC, full IPv6 dual-stack support
Cons
- - VCL and cache architecture have a real learning curve — overkill for simple caching needs
- - Regional bandwidth skew: $0.28/GB in Africa, India and South Korea versus $0.12/GB in NA/EU
- - Request pricing table and reviewer-quoted rates disagree; WAF pricing is unpublished
- - Free tier requires a credit card; first Compute deploy starts a limited trial
- - Legacy pre-November-2025 accounts sit on different ($50/month) terms than new sign-ups
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
