I try not to put all my eggs in one basket, that's why for images I use imgur. They have a great API and it's 100% free. There is a handy ruby gem [1] which takes a user uploaded image and sticks it on imgur and returns its URL with dimensions etc. On top of that you don't have to pay for traffic to those assets.

- bastawhiz 10y agoUsing imgur over a service that you pay for (with an SLA) is, as my college CS professor used to call it, "skating on thin ice".
- Narretz 10y agoWell, imgur.com is currently down, too. I assume they are still using AWS: http://blog.imgur.com/2013/06/04/tech-tuesday-our-technology-stack/ http://blog.imgur.com/2013/06/04/tech-tuesday-our-technology...
- K2L8M11N2 10y agoImgur's down right now as well (except direct links to images) and it's not lossless (they resave images).
