    Fast, secure image processing server and Go library, using libvips

  • PictShare

    :camera: PictShare is an open source image, mp4, pastebin hosting service with a simple resizing and upload API that you can host yourself. :rice_scene:

    Interesting approach! I also made a project many years ago (still maintained though) that does something like that (also on docker hub). Basically it's a simple self-hosted image hoster where you can upload videos and images and you can resize them on the fly by changing the URL.

  • 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.

  • libvips

    A fast image processing library with low memory needs.

    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.
