Serving every image size from one source — and cutting storage costs
A simple, efficient, and cost-effective solution to manage images dynamically using the AWS Serverless Image Handler.
- On-demand resizing
- Delivery
- Pay-per-use
- Cost
- Near zero
- Ops overhead
// the challenge
The client needed to serve many different image sizes/crops across web and mobile without pre-generating and storing every variant, which was ballooning storage costs and slowing down releases.
// our approach
- Deployed the AWS Serverless Image Handler backed by Lambda and CloudFront.
- Configured on-the-fly resizing, format conversion, and smart cropping driven by URL parameters.
- Set up caching rules at the CDN layer to avoid repeat compute for popular sizes.
- Wired up infrastructure as code so the stack could be replicated across environments.
// the outcome
The client now serves any image size on demand with a single source image, cutting storage costs and eliminating a whole class of build-time image processing jobs.
