GCP Storage / AWS-S3 friendly ImageBackend #163

Open rburhum opened 3 years ago

rburhum commented 3 years ago

Is there an example of another implementation of an ImageBackend that does not go through easy_thumbnails?

The problem is that I want to crop the image on upload and generate the thumbnail then. No need to have dynamic images after the size has been chosen in the admin. Right now, the easy_thumbnails backend is querying the GCP bucket several times, on every request, and it is slowing down the request unnecessarily (not to mention that the cost of GETs is also increasing accordingly).

Thanks!

Hey @rburhum,

for now the EasyThumbnailsBackend is the only available backend.

But sure it would be nice to have a backend, that works better with S3 and other remote storages, so it would be great if someone would work on it.

If I did a backend that would be:

more limited than the easythumbnails (e.g. would not allow dynamic thumbnail sizes) and
would require a change of the interface to implement

would you consider it?

Hi @rburhum , We will consider a PR:

with less limitations as long as these are documented (we also want to work in the next months on the topic so we might extend what you may start now)
with changes to the interface as long as they can be explained and tested (in particular, you may need to change what leads to issue #15 )
