Also, great writeup. We use Cloudinary at DEV and it's really simplified things... Though I foresee we may move off due to price scaling and wanting to remove proprietary services as we expand what we're doing with open sourcing of our platform.
That is a fair point about your usage; I feel like I've seen that as a common pattern with services like Cloudinary - bootstrap with it until you reach a certain scale, and then when it makes sense to invest the time to move off it, replicate the results with something you can have more control over / in-house.
Personally, I also have this as a goal; I'd like to learn more about using more "bare-metal" image manipulation tools, like ImageMagick and libvips.
A few things...
@joshuatz and @joshpuetz , they look very similar at a glance.

Thanks!

Always nice to meet another Josh!
