Best When

An agent needs to upload, transform, and serve images/videos at scale with minimal infrastructure management.

Avoid When

You only need file storage without image transformations, or need fully self-hosted media processing.

Use Cases

  • Uploading and transforming images programmatically from agent workflows
  • Generating resized/cropped/optimized image variants via URL parameters
  • AI-powered image analysis (face detection, content moderation) from agents
  • Video transcoding and thumbnail extraction
  • Managing media asset libraries with metadata and tagging

Not For

  • General file storage (use S3/R2 instead)
  • Teams needing full self-hosted media processing
  • Simple static file hosting without transformation needs
