Jola drops Cloudflare for bunny.net
Jola.dev documents a full CDN migration from Cloudflare to bunny.net for a personal blog, with a step-by-step walkthrough covering pull zones, DNS setup, caching, SSL, and origin shielding. The post argues that bunny.net offers a compelling alternative for developers who want simpler pricing, more control, and less dependence on Cloudflare.
// ANALYSIS
This is a practical infra-switching piece, not a product launch, but it captures a real trend: developers are actively looking for credible Cloudflare alternatives when they want lower lock-in and more transparent edge infrastructure.
- –bunny.net’s pitch here is straightforward: CDN, caching, SSL, shield features, and logs in one package, with a self-serve flow that is easy to adopt
- –The tradeoff is clear too: smaller network footprint than Cloudflare, but enough performance and features for many sites, especially blogs and smaller production workloads
- –The post is strongest as a migration guide because it shows the operational details people actually care about, not just marketing claims
- –The European-company angle matters for some buyers, but the real decision driver is control, cost predictability, and avoiding single-vendor dependency
- –For developers, this is a reminder that edge/CDN choices are getting more modular, and “good enough” infrastructure can be a rational choice over the biggest default
