BunnyCDN allegedly lost production files for 15 months, developers say

What users are reporting

It has been reported that a string of posts on Hacker News and a Reddit thread in r/webdev allege BunnyCDN has been quietly deleting or losing production assets for roughly 15 months. Developers claim they discovered missing images, scripts and other static files only after sites started serving 404s or failing to build, and — worse — that some files appear to be gone from the CDN permanently. The core charge: infrastructure you trust, quietly gone.

The fallout

The practical effects, if true, are immediate and painful: broken pages, failed CI/CD runs, and urgent firefights to restore assets from origin storage or backups. Developers in the thread express frustration and a sharp sense of betrayal — who expects a CDN to “lose” their production files? Many are scrambling to audit backups, check origin repositories, and route critical traffic away from single points of failure. Trust in third-party infrastructure is the emotional center of this story.

Company response and next steps

At the time of the conversations, there is no widely circulated official statement in the threads from BunnyCDN addressing the specific allegation — and it has been reported that users are calling for a thorough audit, clearer retention policies, and better customer communication. For teams affected or worried about exposure: verify backups, audit CDN retention settings, and consider multi-CDN or stronger origin controls until the situation is clarified.

Allegations like this are serious. They also highlight a broader industry lesson: never treat a CDN as the only source of truth.
