The issue is Vercel Image API is ridiculously expensive and also not efficient.

I would recommend using Thumbor instead: https://thumbor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. You could have ChatGPT write up a React image wrapper pretty quickly for this.

The article explains that they were using the old Vercel price and that the new price is much cheaper.

> On Feb 18, 2025, just a few days after we published this blog post, Vercel changed their image optimization pricing. With the new pricing we'd not have faced a huge bill.

Maybe atleast link to the project https://imgproxy.net/ next time? Your comment is basically an ad for your product. I am sure many clicked the link expecting there to be some image resizing proxy solution…
