Backblaze compares AWS CloudFront and bunny.net across CDN factors including network footprint (PoPs), caching features, compression, DDoS protection, integrations, and pricing. The article highlights bunny.net features such as Origin Shield, Perma-Cache, and request coalescing, and contrasts CloudFront’s tighter integration with AWS services and optional AWS Shield Advanced. Pricing examples are provided to illustrate differences in per-GB egress costs and request-fee policies, with mention of free egress between bunny.net and Backblaze B2 when paired.
For streaming teams, “CDN choice” is increasingly a finance and architecture decision, not a pure performance bake-off. Hyperscalers win on integrated security and governance, but the real lever is often egress economics and operational complexity—especially as services unbundle across storage, compute, and delivery. Bunny.net + Backblaze B2 is effectively an anti-egress-tax bundle, while CloudFront’s gravity keeps workloads (and spend) inside AWS. The emerging meme: the edge is getting commoditized, and differentiation shifts to cache-hit engineering, pricing simplicity, and avoiding surprise line items (requests, Shield, cross-cloud transfer).
