  • Glide

    Wonderfully easy on-demand image manipulation library with an HTTP based API. (by thephpleague)

  • 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.

  • Intervention Image

    PHP Image Processing

  • Glide is actually built on top of Intervention so I'd start looking there. If Intervention has what you need but Glide doesn't, you can probably write your own custom manipulation.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
