Faster name resolution is chasing a local maximum. The better path to improving the internet is to rely on DNS less and content addressing more, that way content stays accessible as long as somebody on your part of the network has it.

Something still has to locate the resource you want, and that will involve something equivalent to DNS.

Sure but it's a different game if instead of finding the machine that has the data, it can find any machine that has the data. That machine might be elsewhere on your lan or elsewhere in your city.

But that's not how DNS works. It does not find /the/ node that matches the host element of the resource. It finds a list of nodes (often a subset of eligible nodes).

I just discovered bunny.net thanks to this post. I'd be happy to move my static websites on bunny.net, but is it possible (like on cloudflare) to map requests to /foo to the foo.html file ? According to what I read on the documentation it is not a edge rule.

Pardon my ignorance but am curious what is an "edge rule"? Is it a tech-related term (i.e. edge case) or a figure of speech?

"Edge" was the new "client", now it's everything outside your own servers, or at the border between your server and everyone else.

This is nice, I have some nameservers pointing to Hetzner so I can use Caddy to do domain validation via API and get https (with dedicated domains) on private LANs. But the Hetzner API keys are horribly, uncomfortably over-scoped and I haven't found a way to reduce that.

At least when I do DNS at bunny, a leaked key can't rent VMs on my CC. And I prefer EU infra (cloudflare works great though for this usecase). Who knows that my bunny account can grow into ;)

We use bunny as our CDN provider at Bluesky, and I have had a very positive experience! Team is great, service is great, price is great.

I think it is a step in the right direction for bunny to be a competitive for the people on hobby/self hosting. But I think that having a free tier for CDN is what makes cloudflare attractive (Among other things).

I can finally automate our wildcard certs. Our current DNS host doesn’t have an API.

Free secondary or are people supposed to make them primary and manage their DNS through Bunny? If primary that is the same sales technique Cloudflare used. It works, once one's DNS is managed there enabling CDN features is just clicking buttons.

Great news, but CDN doesn't have free tier like Cloudflare's unfortunately, so not an option for my projects ATM.

How would I quantitatively test which dns server is the fastest one available to me?

Amazing, thanks for doing that. I just moved all my websites to Bunny CDN a couple of months ago, and I couldn't be happier. Great product, great website and interface.
