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.

A look at how Discord uses Rust for their data services
We only have one service we've written in go that we maintain, which is the media proxy. We will probably rewrite that in Rust at some point - but it's not a priority, and more of a passion/side project. Most of that service is actually open sourced here: https://github.com/discord/lilliput - it's basically just a CGO wrapper around C/C++ image resizing code. The closed source bits are just the code that downloads and feeds images to that library, then serves the results back over http/grpc.
- Add support for animated WebP images by MCJack123 · Pull Request #103 · discord/lilliput · GitHub

Discord's image resizing framework (written in Go) doesn't support animated WebP. Is anyone willing to fix this?
The relevant issue: https://github.com/discord/lilliput/issues/97

Discord still doesn't support Animated WEBP, a format that's way better than GIF.
Our image resizing code is open source: https://github.com/discord/lilliput
