Meet Lust, A Powerful Auto-Optimizing Image Server Built With Rust
Storage is via your chosen database of choice, this system is designed to compute the images at time of upload and then store them rather than at client request (because that can lead to significantly higher load at large throughputs and increase latency) I might consider adding other storage backends like a standard file system backend but probably not till other things are done. If you want custom resizing at clients request it might be worth looking at https://github.com/imazen/imageflow which does the sizing / manipulations at request time rather than ahead of time.

You should check out Glide. It provides an easy to use RESTful API for dynamically transforming images on the fly, handles caching them in Flysystem automatically, is easy to integrate in most modern frameworks, and allows you to secure the endpoint via signed URLs, presets and maximum sizes.

Srcset and Sizes (2014)
This is some pretty powerful stuff. Here's a more information-dense and up-to-date rundown of srcset and sizes: https://bitsofco.de/the-srcset-and-sizes-attributes/
Notably, it shows how it's possible to use different images based on a portrait or landscape layout of the viewport, which OP doesn't cover. That's not always useful but it's good to know it's there when you might want to use it.
I was recently (well, several months ago) tasked with improving the Google PageSpeed scores on mobile for a site which has a lot of image-heavy pages. The end solution involved adapting all images to use a image with a WebP alternative for browsers that can show it (Google's tools like it when you use their near-proprietary image format; go figure), plus using srcset and sizes (which can be used on tags inside of tags as well as
tags) plus a script which resizes and caches resized versions of large images based on URL parameters (basically an ersatz Glide [0]; I wish I had known it existed when I started). The end result severely reduced page weight for mobile visitors and was successful in raising our PageSpeed scores and appeasing my client.
