[I work at imgix and have helped lead the team on the production issues we face and gathering the details for this blog post]
imgix does utilize a partner to handle some of our image delivery components. We're a customer of that CDN in that we pay them money for the services they provide, but we're actually more of a partner in that we have done considerable integration work and we work closely with them to build what we need to deliver our product.
We talk with them frequently, and there are pieces that aren't just off-the-shelf that we utilize to provide the integrated service we sell to our own customers.
To be clear though, the issues we faced that are discussed in this blog post are not related to the CDN or delivering already rendered images to end users. It's around rendering new images, which doesn't involve the CDN.
