Announcing Cloudflare Images beta to simplify your image pipeline

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has announced the beta release of Cloudflare Images, a service designed to store, resize, optimize, and deliver images at scale. Similar to Stream, which was launched in 2018 for videos, Cloudflare Images eliminates the need for users to manage storage buckets, egress costs, and other common problems. The service is aimed at businesses that require efficient image infrastructure, such as those with large numbers of high-resolution product images or apps for creators. With its straightforward APIs and simple pricing structure, Cloudflare Images aims to reduce the time developers spend maintaining infrastructure so they can focus on their products' unique features. The service also eliminates egress costs and storage bucket management, offering a single source of truth for different ways of securing and optimizing image uploads in a product.
