What is Bunny.net?

Bunny.net is sprinting on edge breadth — AVIF, API Guardian, seamless migration, and Stream API ergonomics in two weeks.

Bunny.net shipped a heavy April-into-May batch across its full surface area: AVIF input/output in the image Optimizer, image upscaling with resampling, seamless domain migration with DNS-verified SSL, and a new Stream 'Add video library' API endpoint that pre-configures encoding, transcribing, and resolutions in one call. Just outside the recent-six window, API Guardian (April 27) added schema-aware OpenAPI enforcement at the edge inside Bunny Shield. The cadence and breadth is closer to a hyperscaler than a niche CDN.

What is Speakeasy?

Speakeasy becomes the enterprise control plane for MCP server access and AI tool governance.

Speakeasy has pivoted from an SDK/API generation tool into a full governance platform for Model Context Protocol infrastructure. In the past week, the product shipped per-server access control pages, per-tool permission granularity, killswitch management, credential verification for remote sessions, and a breaking refactor to risk policy scoping. The pace of feature delivery across v1.21–v1.25 is high, and the product surface has grown substantially: shadow AI detection, OTLP risk export, catalog management, and editable gateway instructions are all now part of the same control plane.

Bunny.net is sprinting on edge breadth — AVIF, API Guardian, seamless migration, and Stream API ergonomics in two weeks.

◆ Current state

Bunny.net shipped a heavy April-into-May batch across its full surface area: AVIF input/output in the image Optimizer, image upscaling with resampling, seamless domain migration with DNS-verified SSL, and a new Stream 'Add video library' API endpoint that pre-configures encoding, transcribing, and resolutions in one call. Just outside the recent-six window, API Guardian (April 27) added schema-aware OpenAPI enforcement at the edge inside Bunny Shield. The cadence and breadth is closer to a hyperscaler than a niche CDN.

◆ Where it's heading

Bunny.net is staying the affordable alternative to Cloudflare and Fastly while matching feature breadth release-by-release. The trajectory keeps adding capabilities up the stack — first CDN, then image optimization, then video streaming, now API security and zero-downtime migration. Each addition is a reason to consolidate workloads on Bunny instead of stitching multiple vendors. Expect continued pressure on the edge incumbents from below.

◆ Prediction

Watch for AI-related edge primitives — model-serving at the edge, AI inference workers — that would put Bunny.net into Cloudflare Workers AI territory. The Stream API expansion suggests video AI (auto-transcription, scene detection) is also imminent.

10.0

Speakeasy becomes the enterprise control plane for MCP server access and AI tool governance.

◆ Current state

Speakeasy has pivoted from an SDK/API generation tool into a full governance platform for Model Context Protocol infrastructure. In the past week, the product shipped per-server access control pages, per-tool permission granularity, killswitch management, credential verification for remote sessions, and a breaking refactor to risk policy scoping. The pace of feature delivery across v1.21–v1.25 is high, and the product surface has grown substantially: shadow AI detection, OTLP risk export, catalog management, and editable gateway instructions are all now part of the same control plane.

◆ Where it's heading

Every release deepens the enterprise governance story: finer-grained access controls, trusted issuer chains for enterprise IdP integration, and precise billing instrumentation from exact meter readings. The direction is clear—Speakeasy is positioning itself as the security and compliance layer for organizations deploying AI agents at scale. The API-breaking risk policy refactor signals the team is willing to clean house to reach a coherent model rather than accumulate overlapping scope mechanisms.

◆ Prediction

The next move is likely deeper audit and compliance tooling—possibly signed event logs, per-user MCP usage reports meeting enterprise security requirements, or wider IdP federation support beyond the current OIDC/RFC 8414 implementation.
