What’s exciting is the range of options Cloudflare offers for essentially the same thing.
They really are pressing to become the backbone to easy app development. I easily see it and am especially looking forward to the more and more originless options.
I am interested in seeing pricing but another (no offense Cloudflare folks) annoying in-the-dark beta.
To spat off a few ways someone could do similar image stuff, all roughly with them pretty effectively, varying trade-offs of course (origin load, no origin, cost, etc...):
- Current image resize plan ($)
- Custom Origin Resizer + normal CF cache everything
- Custom Origin Resizer + tiered CF cache everything
- Custom Origin Resizer and Mirage/Polish whatever on their +plans
- Custom Origin Resizer + cache everything + ignore query strings via custom cache keys (Enterprise)
- Custom Origin Resizer + cache everything + ignore query strings via worker script to make custom cache keys
- Store the image in an array buffer in their KV store
- Worker + a WASM binding that resizes the image on the fly (they made this as a WebAssembly proof of concept)
- Now this new custom thing.
Very cool.. Love the flexibility and range.
