  • serverless-image-handler

    A solution to dynamically handle images on the fly, utilizing SharpJS

    • It looks like there’s a ‘standard service’ for video media: https://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder/ but actually for jpg you might need to do something a bit more bespoke. You could deploy a ‘serverless’ lambda function to do this conversion and write the S3 urls to a database after: https://github.com/awslabs/serverless-image-handler. Looks like it uses SharpJS: https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/. In the past I’ve used ImageMagick on compute instances: https://imagemagick.org/script/index.php
