Is there an Indie Hackers image manipulation service (Cloudinary/Imagekit)

I have an S3 bucket full of images. I just need a simple image optimization service that lets me send src, width, and quality (next/image) and it manipulates that source image and returns it with the correct size/quality and caches it on a CDN.

Imgix, Cloudinary, and Imagekit but they’re pretty expensive for such a simple thing. I could obviously just roll my own with a AWS Lambda, API, Cloudfront, but I hate managing AWS infrastructure especially for small projects.

I’m hoping to find a small IH product that offers a similar service at a lower rate.

    Both of them look quite cheap. I think rolling your own solution would you cost more in terms of opportunity costs.
