Bunny.net silent data loss spans 15 months
Bunny.net is under fire after reports surfaced of persistent, silent data loss affecting millions of files over a 15-month period. Files successfully upload and replicate but vanish hours later without appearing in audit logs, pointing to severe architectural flaws in the storage engine's consistency model.
This is the ultimate infrastructure nightmare: data that successfully "saves" but silently disappears without a trace or audit trail.
- –Internal logs show no deletion commands, suggesting a failure in the underlying garbage collection or replication logic rather than an API error.
- –The 15-month resolution window reveals a massive failure in support escalation for complex, low-frequency but high-impact bugs.
- –Rapid product expansion into databases and security might have diverted engineering focus from core storage stability and technical debt.
- –Developers using Bunny for production assets should immediately verify their backup and verification loops, as "replication" clearly failed here.
- –This incident serves as a stark warning about the risks of opaque "black box" storage layers in managed cloud services.
