image-service

An image processing backend running on AWS Lambda.

Uses gm with GraphicsMagick (which is available by default) on AWS lambda.

It takes JPEG or PNG images that are uploaded base64 encoded, crops and resizes them on the fly to 256x256px size, and stores them on an S3 bucket.

Original	Result
JPEG	JPEG
600x300	256x256
PNG	JPEG
600x300	256x256
JPEG	JPEG
300x600	256x256

Request

Users need to provide an JsonWebToken which is checked against the configured public key.

POST /upload
Content-Type: application/vnd.rheactorjs.image-service.v1+json
Authorization: Bearer <token>

{
  "$context":"https://github.com/RHeactorJS/image-service#Upload",
  "image":"R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7",
  "mimeType":"image/png"
}

Response

Content-Type: application/vnd.rheactorjs.image-service.v1+json

{
  "$context":"https://github.com/RHeactorJS/image-service#UploadResult",
  "url":"https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/image-service/example.com/33f24f55-e435-4198-a148-fdd1095ffa96-user-5.jpg",
  "mimeType":"image/jpeg"
}

This implementation expects token's sub to be an URL, which will be used to prefix and suffix URLs. A sub value of https://example.com/user/5 was used in the example above.
