I run https://dummyimage.com, the first placeholder image service which has been online since 2007. I use a 1GB, 1vCPU instance from DreamCompute costing $6.00 per month. That's it.

To be fair dummyimage.com doesn't do any sort of image reading or resizing. Source doe at https://github.com/kingkool68/dummyimage

What kind of traffic does your service attract?
For reference: I do about 7GB of image traffic/day for placekitten (a similar service) for about the same cost ($6/mo). I do resize images.
I love placekitten. Thank you for this service!
If I had to guess by his infrastructure, none.
