Ask HN: Best alternative for image hosting/scaling for high traffic site?
Previously we hosted everything right off of our own server, but as our traffic has grown, we moved to cloudinary so that we could utilize their systems features to do image resizing and scaling on the fly and serve images through their cdn which would help speed up our app.
Unfortunately, we've priced ourselves outside of cloudinary and need to look elsewhere. Right now we're doing close to 1TB bandwidth with cloudinary and they want $500+/mo for it.
Our site receives a lot of traffic and no matter how well we resize/compress our images, we just use too much bandwidth through them.
What's the best alternative here? Should we use one of amazon's services and are there any integrations we can use to help with image resizing/scaling on the fly?
