There have been ImageMagick security bugs in the past, but it is an active project/community and they do get patched. I'd prefer using ImageMagick for something like this, but it's all about tradeoffs and what you're looking to do. There could be memory/security bugs in the future. There are also performance trade-offs if you created a microservice for this function in rmagic/ruby vs node (and you should do both and test them, because you might be surprised which one is actually faster). I agree it's best to use the right tool for the task, and there are valid reasons for using both in this case. I'd personally probably take the ruby/rmagick/ImageMagick approach myself in a container, but that's not to say that's the best approach.
