Trouble uploading images from Server to Tinify to AWS (timing)

[sjorssnoeren]

I'm uploading images from tinify to AWS and small images (1mb and less) are taking up to 10 seconds, larger images usually take about 30 seconds. Is there any way to fasten this? Server location, Europe, AWS EU-west.

    tinify.key = process.env.TINIFY_API_KEY;

    const buffer = new Buffer(req.body.image, 'base64');
    const metadata = imageService.createImageMetadataFromBuffer(buffer, 'products');

    const source = tinify.fromBuffer(buffer);
    const imageSize = imageService.createImageRect(req.body.width, req.body.height);

    // Resize images
    const thumbnail = source.resize({
      method: 'cover',
      ...imageSize,
    });

    const retinaThumbnail = source.resize({
      method: 'cover',
      width: Math.ceil(imageSize.width * 2),
      height: Math.ceil(imageSize.height * 2),
    });

    // Create requests to store images at AWS S3
    const thumbnailStoreRequest = thumbnail.store({
      ...storeOptions,
      path: imageService.createPathFromMetadata(metadata),
    });

    const retinaThumbnailStoreRequest = retinaThumbnail.store({
      ...storeOptions,
      path: imageService.createPathFromMetadata(metadata, '@2x'),
    });

    const results = await Promise.all([
      thumbnailStoreRequest.location(),
      retinaThumbnailStoreRequest.location(),
    ]);

Hi Sjors,

Compression times can depend on a couple of factors:

• Your upload speed
• Your download speed
• Image size (larger images will take exponentially longer)
• The current load on our servers

However these compressions times are not out of the ordinary for the compression.
