> Bunny has raised money from VC which indicates it’s going the “Wall Street” path.

Yet it is an available alternative to Cloudflare that is not on Wall Street (a public company).

If you want to do this 100% yourself there is Apache Traffic Control.

For now. If we support alternatives they can grow into an open source CDN.

Anubis is a piece of software not a CDN service.

You realize to run a CDN you have to buy massive amounts of bandwidth and computers? DIY here belies a misunderstanding of what it takes to be DOS resistant and also what it takes to actually have CDN deliver a performance benefit.

This is a great idea for Anubis, funding future development and it being an alternative CDN.

Customers on the enterprise plan can either use Anubis's Managed CDN or host Anubis themselves via a enterprise license!

They can directly receive tech support from the creator of Anubis. (as long as they pay on the enterprise plan)

I don't see a problem with this and it can turn Anubis from "a piece of software" into a CDN.

Has anyone from the Anubis project said anything about aspiring to transform into a CDN?
Maybe they can also start a marketplace to buy and sell digital goods, like NFTs.
