Where/How do you host your images?
A question for indie hackers who have a product that heavily depends on images:
Where do you host your images? What's your "image tech stack"?

Using AWS, but looking at R2 by cloudflare.
Backend devs in my team use Cloudinary and are praising it to some extent.
Cloudflare R2 just came out of beta, so trying to get it: https://blog.cloudflare.com/r2-open-beta/
I am using Scaleway's object storage which is a S3 compatible storage. Currently I am not having a CDN in front of it, because the traffic is low enough to not cause big traffic charges.
How is your experience with scaleway? I am currently using linode and while it is very good I am looking at scaleway's dedibox.
Didn't use their dedibox, only their Elements (public cloud thing). With that service, I definitely enjoy the lower pricing and the simplicity vs other public clouds such as AWS or GCloud.
Oh ok. That is shared though.
Currently hosting all HeyForm images and static files on BunnyCDN.
Linode Object Storage (like S3 but cheaper) with imgproxy infront of it cached by bunnycdn.
If you're not exploring a technical solution, then checkout Imgur.
Simply upload the image and get the image link without making the image public. Your image would be private and not visible to Imgur community yet you'd be able to show it on your website for free. It's the best in my opinion.
Actually I keep it on the VPS/block storage. But S3 or S3-alternative is probably what you want.
Locally most of the time until I need to scale out
For small images like Icons I just store them in base64 in a NoSQL :D Simple and I don't have to deal with AWS S3 or something similar. What kind of images are you asking about?
Azure Blobs.
But you should pay for it.
There are other interesting options like Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, etc.
