# Image Flex
A robust, secure, and easily deployable image resizing service that scales, optimizes, and caches images on "the edge," on the fly, built on AWS Serverless technologies. Served by [CloudFront](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/) via an [Origin Access Identity](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/private-content-restricting-access-to-s3.html). Executed on [Lambda@Edge](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/edge/). Backed by [S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/). Protected by [AWS WAF](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/web-acl.html). Provisioned via [CloudFormation](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/). Built and deployed by the [Serverless Application Model (SAM)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/what-is-sam.html) CLI.

The original inspiration for this application came from [this AWS blog post](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/networking-and-content-delivery/resizing-images-with-amazon-cloudfront-lambdaedge-aws-cdn-blog/) I read a few years back. The article intended to provide a [semi-]working example, which was far from being suitable for a production environment.

## IMPORTANT!
While Image-Flex allows you to indicate a region to use other than `us-east-1`, CloudFront requires `us-east-1`. **Until I figure out a workaround, don't attempt to deploy in any region other than `us-east-1`.**
While Image-Flex does technically support setting a region to use other than `us-east-1`, CloudFront requires `us-east-1`. This is an AWS limitation

## Prerequisites
Note that this is a production-ready application, not a tutorial. This document assumes you have some working knowledge of AWS, [CloudFormation](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/) and the [Serverless Application Model (SAM)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/what-is-sam.html), [AWS Lambda](https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/), [S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/), [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/), [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/), and JavaScript.
