Image storage and hosting

What hosted services are there for hosting and serving images (and potentially other assets like videos or pdfs).

Bonus if good management options – this makes it more like "digital asset managment"

Options

  • Cloudinary
  • Bytescale
  • Raw cloud storage like S3 or R2
  • R2 with its image functionality

Bytescale looks like a great semi-open-source option with backing onto r2 (from $35/month)

From https://github.com/orgs/life-itself/discussions/436#discussioncomment-7141697 (Sep 2023)

Just came across Bytescale: https://www.bytescale.com/pricing (formely upload.io)

Present as a developer oriented cloundinary alternative.

More relevantly for us they are a frontend and processing pipeline for r2 (or s3 etc) which gives us a combination of UX and portability (from our own storage).
