About Bunnyshell
Bunnyshell is an Environments-as-a-Service platform that eliminates the 'works on my machine' problem. It auto-provisions isolated, full-stack environments from any Git branch or pull request โ with preview URLs, auto-sleep, and auto-destroy on merge.
What it solves
Developers waste hours waiting for Docker builds and debugging environment inconsistencies. Bunnyshell replaces local setups with cloud-based ephemeral environments, reducing QA cycles by 3x and saving 25+ hours per engineer per month. No more staging bottlenecks or surprise cloud bills.
Who it is for
Best for engineering teams shipping frequently (especially in startups and scale-ups) who need preview environments for every PR, AI sandboxes for agents, or self-service staging without DevOps tickets. Less suited for solo developers on small personal projects who don't need multi-environment orchestration.
Real use cases
Teams use Bunnyshell for ephemeral preview environments per PR, cloud development environments with hot-reload, self-service staging, AI sandboxes (~100ms startup), QA testing, sales demos, and enterprise delivery to private clouds.
Key features
- Instant preview environments โ Every pull request gets a full-stack, isolated environment with a unique URL. Auto-created on push, destroyed on merge.
- Cloud development environments โ Spin up full dev environments in seconds with all services and dependencies. No local setup.
- Auto-sleep โ Environments pause after inactivity, reducing cloud costs by up to 70%.
- Kubernetes-native โ Runs on your own K8s cluster (EKS, AKS, GKE) or Bunnyshell's managed infrastructure.
- AI sandboxes โ Isolated sandboxes for AI agents with ~100ms startup, filesystem access, and no host exposure.
- Self-service staging โ Create, clone, and manage staging from the UI without DevOps tickets.
- Team collaboration โ Share environments for pair programming, code reviews, and demos.
