Build your own (mini) Cloudflare Images

Needing an image processing API for a side project, I didn't want to pay for yet another SaaS. After looking at Cloudflare Images, I thought: "How hard could it be to build a simplified version myself?"

So let's build it!

Here's what we need: - Upload, retrieve, and delete images - Resize and compress them (with some other features such as filters, etc.) - Cache results and serve them from a CDN

The Stack

We'll keep this minimal:

• Go - Fast, simple, and minimal for the API service
• FFmpeg - For processing

Features

The system will need the following components:

• API - To handle HTTP requests
• Storage - Deals with image storage and retrieval
• Processing - Handles image processing

TODO! Come back soon...
