Scriptable GeoDNS: leaving AWS for Bunny(vincent.bernat.ch)

The author of a blog has migrated from using Amazon CloudFront and Route 53 to Bunny, a European provider, in an effort to optimize performance metrics and reduce costs. Route 53's expenses, including $0.50 per zone per month and $0.70 per million geolocation queries, prompted the switch to Bunny DNS, which is almost free for up to 500 domains and features scriptable answers, allowing JavaScript code to return the closest servers on each DNS query. The migration was straightforward, and the author is now serving content from Bunny's domain, taking advantage of the provider's cost-effective and feature-rich services.
