Ask HN: Image processing as a service (IpAAS?)
5 points by puppymaster on May 31, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 6 comments
With all the client-side infrastructure as a services that are popping out lately, I think it is an exciting time to be able to put up a quick prototype and host the entire thing in a CDN.

But some things still require non-JS, backend infrastructure to run. Image processing for one. Do you peeps know of any service out there that does image processing as a service and also happen to provide a javascript sdk or REST api?

Thanks in advance!



Look into Iron.io http://blog.iron.io/2012/05/best-practices-scaling-image-pro...


I'm actually using iron worker for some of my projects. They are awesome :)

But you will still need python/php/etc to process the file upload, as shown in the linked article itself.


I am currently working on processing images at scale(maybe small) and would be also be interested in knowing this.


Speaking of image processing, is anyone aware of any libraries or APIs that check image quality?


identify -verbose <filename> if you have imagemagick installed.


nginx has a module that can provide some simple operations via REST api :)
