Intro

In today’s digital landscape, efficiently serving images is critical for website performance. Users expect fast-loading, responsive websites, and images often account for the majority of a page’s weight. In this article, I’ll walk you through building a powerful, scalable image CDN using open-source tools that you can deploy in your own infrastructure.

The Architecture

Our image CDN consists of three main components:

  1. MinIO — An S3-compatible object storage backend that stores original images
  2. imgproxy — A fast and secure image processing service that resizes and optimizes images on-the-fly
  3. Cloudflare — Providing CDN capabilities through Cloudflare Tunnel
