I've written about the issues with CF Images before[0], and a lot of these issues still remain. A while back they joined their two image resizing products together though, and now CF Images is basically a hosted version of the previously named "Image Resizing", but weirdly (though for some use-cases great) priced, and you can bring your own storage if you so like.
In my opinion, CF Images is best if you use it with a Worker in front and R2 as storage, as you have (most) all the convenience of R2, the CDN, and CF Images, but without the unusual pricing.
Perhaps it's time I did a write-up on how to do this - it works very well for the purposes of our SaaS[1] at least :)

- yawnxyz 2y agodidn't know you could place CF Images + Worker in front of R2, would love to know how you did that + what the benefits are. I've been serving images from Workers + R2 and it's great. I don't deal w/ lots of images though, and don't need resizing (but it'd be nice!)
- mik3y 2y agoI refer back to your exact blog post every 6 months or so to see how (or if) its various issues have been smoothed out, and whether I should recommend it in a new build. Thanks much for keeping your post up-to-date!
