This would mean a huge improvement in performance as some of the measurements suggest that we can save up to 95% of our current load size. Our initial investigations indicate that we have uploaded approximately 1.65 million avatars totaling approximately 80GB in size and averaging approximately 48kb each. Early measurements indicate we can reduce the most common avatar dimensions to between 1-3kb in size, netting us a greater than 90% size reduction. For the MVC we don't consider application level caching and rely purely on HTTP based caches as implemented in CDNs and browsers, but might revisit this decision later on. To easily mitigate performance issues with avatar resizing, especially in the case of self managed, an operations feature flag is implemented to disable dynamic image resizing. +When implementing a dynamic image resizing solution, images should be resized and optimized on the fly so that if we define new targeted sizes later we can add them dynamically.

There are no set size restrictions and there are additional features or requirements to consider. - Dynamic WebP support - the WebP format typically achieves an average of 30% more compression than JPEG without the loss of image quality.

With the extra requirements for content image resizing, this may require further use of GraphicsMagik (GM) or a similar library and breaking it out of Workhorse. |
