TIL: Rails, CloundFront CDN, and imgproxy - Good Enough
In September, I worked on improving Pika’s image performance. I’ve had a long career now (25 years 😭) doing mostly web-programming tasks, yet somehow I’ve never set up a CDN myself. I suppose the “management years” right as my prior organization was getting bigger contributed to missing out on that experience. In any case, the work was overdue on Pika and it was time to tackle it. Through a bit of help from online articles and online friends, I’ve gotten it mostly figured out. Here is Pika’s setup.
