Deliver content globally with a Slovenian-built CDN — 119 PoPs, edge storage, video delivery, DNS, and EU-only routing at €0.01/GB with no minimum commitment.
Bunny.net is a Slovenian content delivery network providing CDN, edge storage, video hosting, DNS, and serverless edge computing from a single platform — built to be fast, simple, and significantly more affordable than legacy CDN providers. With 119 points of presence and EU-only routing controls, it is one of the most developer-friendly CDNs in Europe.
BunnyStorage provides S3-compatible distributed object storage with regional replication zones. Bunny Stream transcodes, stores, and delivers video with a built-in player and DRM. Edge scripting deploys serverless JavaScript functions at the PoP nearest the user, and Bunny Optimizer automatically compresses and converts images on the fly.
