Just In Time Image Optimization at Reddit Scale
We chose to use govips which is a cgo wrapper around the libvips image manipulation library. The majority of new development for services in our backend is written using baseplate.go. But Go is not an ideal choice for media processing as it cannot keep up with the performance of native code. The most widely used image-processing libraries like libmagick are primarily written in C or C++. Speed was a major factor in selecting libvips in order to keep latency low on CDN cache misses for images. In our tests, libvips was 3–4 times faster than libmagick on basic image processing operations. Content-aware smart cropping was implemented by porting smartcrop.js to Go. This is the only operation implemented in pure Go.

One thing I didn't mention that AIO includes is a container called imaginary which is written in Go and processes images. I think this is mainly used here for generating image previews in NC.

Deploy your own image processing API using Imaginary
Imaginary is a fast HTTP microservice written in Go allowing high-level image processing. Behind the scene, imaginary uses bimg and libvips libraries to perform the image manipulations.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing govips and imaginary you can also consider the following projects:
bimg - Go package for fast high-level image processing powered by libvips C library
imagick - Go binding to ImageMagick's MagickWand C API
resize - Pure golang image resizing
gg - Go Graphics - 2D rendering in Go with a simple API.
imaging - Imaging is a simple image processing package for Go
gocv - Go package for computer vision using OpenCV 4 and beyond. Includes support for DNN, CUDA, and OpenCV Contrib.
lilliput - Resize images and animated GIFs in Go
Primitive Pictures - Reproducing images with geometric primitives.
