Where do you host your images?

How do you approach image hosting for image-heavy sites?

Do you use services like Cloudinary, or Cloudflare for caching and CDN or do you have some ther cost-effective solutions?

Just started using Cloudinary for my last project. So far, it's been pretty awesome. Now, if I can just figure out how to get images to automatically upload after being referenced in my Gridsome site, that would be even nicer (so far, I've been manually uploading images as needed, but it would be nice to have a single place to do everything).

Btw, if you are interested in modern image formats go to join to "ImageReady: An event featuring talks about modern image formats" on Friday Oct 2.

You don't need CDN in most cases...

Cloudinady 🦄

I love the API 🥰

[Madza]

Awesome, seems to be among the most popular choices as I've heard from devs 👍😉

I just compress them as .webp and use them at my own dedicated hosting.

[Joan León]

Is a good option, but with a service like Cloudinary the API send to the browser the better optimization and supported image format.

Safari (iOS or Mac) don't have support to webp format.

[Ayush Kumar Singh]

you can set up for fallback .png and .jpeg images for not supported platforms.

I know it, recently I published the same approach with AVIF format twitter.com/nucliweb/status/130228...

[Ayush Kumar Singh]

Is AVIF a new format I have no idea about it?

What's the learning curve, tho? 👀

[Mateusz Iwaniuk]

Docs, I guess. I have built one of my aps using S3 using only docs and some random articles

Thanks for reporting them, seems like devs removed the comments ❤🙏

[Pedro Cruz]

why? It's a good question in my opinion

[Muhammad Uzair]

This guy asks post tons of questions daily, and don't even bother looking at answers then. Something is wrong there.

I use cloud flare. Does a good job

Started using Cloudinary with my last project. Quite well done. On the fly images transformations is pretty nice
