Bunny Storage Support Now Available in LaunchFast Starter Kits LaunchFast now works with [**Bunny Storage**](https://bunny.net/storage/), and we didn't have to ship a single line of starter kit code to make it happen. > **Note:** Bunny's S3-compatible API is currently in **private preview**. You'll need access from Bunny before you can create a storage zone with S3 compatibility enabled. Same repo. Same `STORAGE_PROVIDER=s3`. Plug in your Bunny S3 endpoint and credentials, and you're uploading files through the same pre-signed URL flow LaunchFast already uses for Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, and Neon Storage. **One stack. One dashboard. Ship faster.** ## Why this matters LaunchFast treats object storage as S3-compatible by default. Bunny Storage exposes an S3 API, so avatars, uploads, and generated assets just work. No adapter, no fork, no waiting on a release. - **No code changes**: The kit already supports custom S3 endpoints. Bunny Storage is already supported. - **Edge-friendly storage**: Bunny Storage sits close to Bunny's global CDN, a natural fit when you want fast file delivery without juggling multiple vendors. - **Simple pricing**: Pay for storage and bandwidth on Bunny's terms, not AWS egress surprises. ## What's included - **S3-compatible uploads and retrieval** via LaunchFast's existing `/api/storage` routes and `` component - **Pre-signed URLs** for secure client-side uploads, identical flow to other S3 providers - **One env var**: `AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3` points the S3 client at your Bunny regional endpoint - **Available in all frameworks**: Astro, Next.js, and SvelteKit starter kits Under the hood, LaunchFast's S3 helper already routes requests through a custom endpoint when `AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3` is set. Bunny Storage plugs into that same path. ## Getting started ### 1. Get access to Bunny S3 (private preview) Bunny's S3-compatible storage API is in **private preview**. Request access from Bunny before continuing. The S3 option won't appear in your dashboard until your account is enabled. ### 2. Create a Storage Zone with S3 compatibility In the [Bunny dashboard](https://dash.bunny.net/), go to **Delivery → Storage** and create a storage zone. When creating the zone, **enable S3 compatibility**. This is required for LaunchFast's S3-based upload flow. See [Bunny's storage quickstart](https://docs.bunny.net/storage/s3) for S3 compatibility. ### 3. Copy your S3 credentials Open your storage zone, then go to **Access → S3**. You will need: - S3 endpoint URL (regional, e.g. `https://[region]-s3.storage.bunnycdn.com`) - Bucket name (your storage zone name) - Access key ID (your storage zone name) - Secret access key (your storage zone password) - Region (example, `la`) ### 4. Configure your `.env` Set `STORAGE_PROVIDER` to `s3`, then add your Bunny Storage credentials: ```bash STORAGE_PROVIDER="s3" AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3="https://[region]-s3.storage.bunnycdn.com" AWS_KEY_ID="your-storage-zone-name" AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your-storage-zone-password" AWS_S3_BUCKET_NAME="your-storage-zone-name" AWS_REGION_NAME="de" ``` Do **not** set `CLOUDFLARE_R2_ACCOUNT_ID` when using Bunny Storage. That variable is only for Cloudflare R2. Use the exact endpoint and region shown in your Bunny dashboard's **Access → S3** tab. Bunny's access key is your storage zone name, not your account API key. ### 5. Run the app and upload a file Start your dev server, sign in, and upload a profile image or any file through the built-in upload flow. LaunchFast generates a pre-signed PUT URL against your Bunny bucket, the browser uploads directly, and retrieval works through the same signed-URL path. For framework-specific setup notes, see the Storage section in the starter kit README: - [Astro](https://github.com/LaunchFast-Boilerplates/launchfa.st-astro#storage) - [Next.js](https://github.com/LaunchFast-Boilerplates/launchfa.st-nextjs#storage) - [SvelteKit](https://github.com/LaunchFast-Boilerplates/launchfa.st-sveltekit#storage) ## Other storage providers Bunny Storage joins the storage providers LaunchFast already supports: - **Amazon S3**: [/documentation/storage/amazon-s3/](/documentation/storage/amazon-s3/) - **Cloudflare R2**: [/documentation/storage/cloudflare-r2/](/documentation/storage/cloudflare-r2/) - **Neon Storage**: [/blog/neon-storage-support/](/blog/neon-storage-support/) - **Supabase Storage**: [/documentation/storage/supabase/](/documentation/storage/supabase/) - **Firebase Storage**: [/documentation/storage/firebase/](/documentation/storage/firebase/) Switch providers anytime by updating `STORAGE_PROVIDER` and the relevant env vars. No application code changes required. ## Get started today Ready to pair LaunchFast with edge storage and a global CDN? [**Get LaunchFast Starter Kit**](/) and point it at Bunny Storage in minutes.
