Cloudinary Storage #10

Closed te9arala9a closed 10 months ago

Is there any chance to change the blob storage to Cloudinary?

sambecker commented 10 months ago

No plans to do that currently. What's the use case you have in mind? Just using them as a blob store (like S3), or some other image-related functionality?

The issue with Vercel blob storage is that, on the free plan, it does not have a sufficiently large quota to make it a viable candidate for an image database. I reached the quota within a few hours of uploading just ~7 high resolution photos - from analytics there were only 15 unique visitors

Previously, I've been using the Vercel image gallery template, which uses cloudinary - the combination of a more generous free tier from cloudinary, as well as built in compression makes it a much more suitable candidate

The exif data would still need to be extracted before uploading to cloudinary, since they paywall the ability to query metadata.

Given that this is such a major migration, it is not reasonable to expect you to rewrite this template with that in mind, but I thought I would explain the reasoning that @te9arala9a might have

More of a free-tier limitation. I understand. I'll try to figure it out on my own. Thanks for the wonderful project.

You pointed out my reasoning extremely well. Thank you.
