IMAGE CDN FOR A MULTI TANANT APPLICATION WITH ImageMagick
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Image Processing and Fallback Mechanism Implementation Guide
Objective:
Implement an image processing system that outputs .webp format images for modern browsers with a fallback to .jpg format for browsers that do not support .webp.
Tools Required:
ImageMagick for image processing.
Google Cloud Storage for storing images.
Google Cloud CDN for delivering images.
Tasks:
Image Conversion:
Use ImageMagick to convert uploaded images to the required sizes (150x150, 300x300, 600x600).
Ensure each image is stored in both .webp and .jpg formats.
Storage Organization:
Organize images in Google Cloud Storage with a clear naming convention, e.g., image-name_size.format.
Example: product-xyz_300x300.webp and product-xyz_300x300.jpg.
Content Negotiation Setup:
Configure the server to perform content negotiation by examining the Accept header for image/webp support.
If WebP is supported, the .webp version of the image should be served.
If WebP is not supported, rewrite the request to serve the .jpg version.
CDN Configuration:
Set up Google Cloud CDN to point to the storage bucket.
Configure caching rules to cache both versions of the image.
URL Rewriting:
Implement URL rewriting rules to serve the correct image format based on browser support.
Set up a system to automatically alter image URLs on the product approval page to point to the CDN.
Testing:
Test across various browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, etc.) to ensure the correct image format is served.
Ensure that the fallback to .jpg works seamlessly when .webp is not supported.
Monitoring and Logging:
Enable logging to monitor the CDN performance and the types of requests being made.
Check the logs to ensure that the fallback mechanism is working as expected and that there are no errors in image delivery.
Deliverables:
A script for ImageMagick to process images.
Server-side configuration for content negotiation.
CDN configuration and caching rules.
Documentation on the naming convention and storage structure.
A test report showing successful content negotiation and image delivery across different browsers.
Monitoring setup with instructions on how to interpret the logs.
