Author of the post here, figured I'd clarify some things since there seem to be some major misconceptions present. First off, I don't claim to be an expert, I find that a pretty arrogant title for anyone to use. I'd like to t

It does indeed. DigitalOcean is kind enough to sponsor the infrastructure, and BelugaCDN provides us with CDN services. Any other costs I cover out of pocket / via carbon ads.

I wrote the old codebase ~4 years ago when I was just learning NodeJS, and didn't touch it too much after that, so it was in dire need of being replaced, in particular since it wasn't really written to scale horizontally. Didn&#x2

The service has actually been around since about 2014, currently, we serve about 400 million images a month, using some 6TB of bandwidth. It's pretty manageable since we use a CDN on top of the service, to cache already processed image
