Incidentally, evaluating an image CDN is my current task at $dayjob. I've been comparing uptimes and, with the caveat that this data is not easy to gather and harder to compare across providers, I just noticed that imgix had twenty-five incidents the past year, mostly "Elevated Rendering Errors". I take it they're a market leader in the image CDN space but that honestly does not inspire confidence in me. Cheaper prov…

My company uses Imgix, we're overall pretty happy with it. I'm not sure how we feel about pricing - that's not in my wheelhouse - but it works well for our needs.

Basically any image variant - by file and transformation/dimension para…

Images up to 10MB in size. Aren’t most photos taken by recent phones > 10MB? I know my DSLR pictures certainly are. Asking out of curiosity. I am not the target audience for this product.

> $1 per 100,000 delivered images Breakdown of delivery costs based on your image sizes: Image size | Total bandwidth used | Effective cost per GB 10MB = 1000GB = $0.001 per GB 5MB = 500GB = $0.002 per GB 1MB = 100GB = $0.01 per GB 200KB = 20GB = $0.05 per GB 50KB = 5GB = $0.2 per GB

Typo on the last one, should be: 50KB = 5GB = $0.20 per GB Which would make you want to break out the old school spriting tools :) I guess don't serve thumbnail galleries from CF.

This isn't "store my phone camera roll", it's "deliver images on the Internet". If you look at https://httparchive.org/reports/state-of-images?lens=top1m&s... for 2021 you'll see images are way smaller than 10MB on the web.
