Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have connected imagekit.io to our S3 bucket that contains close to 400GB of fine art images. Our website frontend then uses the imagekit.io CDN to render all images. We also make heavy use of their transformations, so for example by simply adding something like `?tr=w-200,h-200` imagekit will then serve a 200x200 pixels thumbnail of the actual image.

Pros

  • The imagekit team is very hands-on. Whenever we had a question or an issue, we were able to reach out via their chat and got friendly and competent replies quickly.
  • The documentation is superb and the web interface is very user friendly as well.
  • The cost is reasonable, but can blow up if traffic blows up.

Cons

  • We don't have any issues with imagekit whatsoever. The only thing that always can be improved with pretty much any service is cost, but I understand that this is a tough call, as they are basically just forwarding bandwidth cost from AWS that we would have anyways if we would build this service ourselves.

Likelihood to Recommend

ImageKit is very well suited as a CDN for images. It can generate thumbnails on the fly, show metrics about usage and traffic, and can even serve highly compressed web images and tiny blurry placeholder images to speed up the initial load time. It also has a very good React component that allows for lazy-loading images that are below the fold.
