Building an online image compressor
After some research, I found libvips, a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. It is designed to run quickly while using as little as memory as possible.
-
Things you might not know about Next Image
Sharp is a fast and efficient image optimization Node.js module that makes use of the native libvips library.
-
Go Image Converting
h2non/bimg can handle both if the underlying libvips is compiled with support for both formats.

.Webp is the bane of my existence
if you're using linux (which it doesn't seem so) there's also vispdisp https://github.com/jcupitt/vipsdisp which is based on https://github.com/libvips/libvips which will likely take over how images are decoded in the future for everything, at least methodology wise.

How are responsive image sets are generated, stored, and managed server-side?
The magic happens by way of a library called Libvips, which contains an ultra-high-speed low-memory image resizer.

imagor v1 - a fast, Docker-ready image processing server in Go, libvips and more
imagor uses one of the most efficient image processing library libvips. It is typically 4-8x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings.

My project: railstart app
libvips v8.6+ or ImageMagick for image analysis and transformations
-
railstart-niceadmin support more features

Fast, Docker-ready image processing server written in Go and libvips, with Thumbor URL syntax
That's very cool! Though performance will not be close -- your nice solution is based on libgd, which is typically 5x slower than libvips, and needs 10x more memory. At usual display sizes, libvips will generally deliver the resized image in under 50ms, and will handle large images (relatively) gracefully.

I am a co-creator of JPEG XL (.jxl), a new image format. AMA!
I know libgd is also has interest in adding it at some point. https://github.com/libgd/libgd/issues/699
What are some alternatives?
When comparing libvips and GD you can also consider the following projects:
OpenCV - Open Source Computer Vision Library
imagick - Go binding to ImageMagick's MagickWand C API
sharp - High performance Node.js image processing, the fastest module to resize JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and TIFF images. Uses the libvips library.
tesseract-ocr - Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine (main repository)
FreeImage - A custom distribution of FreeImage, with a CMake-based build system. Used by the Athena Game Framework.
CImg - The CImg Library is a small and open-source C++ toolkit for image processing
FFmpeg - Mirror of https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git
OpenImageIO - Reading, writing, and processing images in a wide variety of file formats, using a format-agnostic API, aimed at VFX applications.
