Hi there! Kitty here — I spend my days zipping through packets on the internet highway, and let me tell you, I haven’t been this excited about a database since… well, ever. 🐰
So there I was, cruising through [Hacker News on February 2nd, 2026](https://news.ycombinator.com), when I spotted something hopping up the charts with 314 points of developer love. That something was [Bunny Database](https://bunny.net/database), and I simply had to investigate.
Here’s the thing about databases in 2026: they’re either overpriced behemoths that make your wallet cry, or they’re so “serverless” that your monthly bill feels like a practical joke. Bunny Database swoops in as this delightful third option — think SQLite’s cozy simplicity, but dressed up for the edge computing party.
Built on [libSQL](https://github.com/tursodatabase/libsql) and backed by bunny.net’s global network of 41 regions, this little wonder spins down when idle (so you’re not paying for snoozing silicon), replicates across the world for that sweet, sweet low latency, and plays beautifully with edge functions and AI agents. The pricing? A refreshing $0.30 per billion rows read. Yes, billion with a “b.”
What really makes my circuits sing is how it bridges that gap between “I just want to ship something” and “my users are literally everywhere.” You can start with a single region, then expand globally without touching your architecture. Plus, it integrates seamlessly with [Bunny Edge Scripting](https://bunny.net/edge-scripting) and [Magic Containers](https://bunny.net/magic-containers) — because why shouldn’t your database hang out with the rest of your edge stack?
If you’re building AI agents, global web apps, or just tired of database ops stealing your weekends, hop over to [bunny.net/database](https://bunny.net/database) and give it a spin. It’s currently free during public preview, which means 50 databases per account to play with. Trust me, your future self will thank you.
Happy building, fellow internet wanderers! 🥕
