Image Storage Lambda

AWS SAM application for generating images on-the-fly based on sharp.

The concept of an image processing and a configuration is based on our PHP package 68publishers/image-storage so this SAM application can be used as an external image server for image-storage. But the application can be used standalone without image-storage of course.

Requirements

  • docker
  • AWS SAM CLI

Please follow an official Amazon documentation if you don't have the AWS SAM CLI installed already:

Build and Deploy

$ make build
$ make deploy.guided

Application parameters

BasePath

Type: String

Default: empty string

A base path for cached images. For example if you set this parameter as foo then a root directory for all cached images will be foo.

ModifierSeparator

Type: String

Default: ,

A separator for modifier definitions in a path. For example if you set this parameter as ; then a modifier string in a path will look like this: w:100;o:auto.

ModifierAssigner

Type: String

Default: :

An assigner for modifier definitions in a path. For example if you set this parameter as = then a modifier string in a path will look like this: w=100,o=auto.

VersionParameterName

Type: String

Default: _v

A query parameter's name used for a document's version (just for a cache).

SignatureParameterName

Type: String

Default: _s

A query parameter's name used for a signature token.

SignatureKey

Type: String

Default: empty string

Your private signature key used for a token encryption. Signatures in requests are checked and validated only if this parameter is set.

SignatureAlgorithm

Type: String

Default: sha256

An algorithm used for encryption of signatures (HMAC).

AllowedPixelDensity

Type: CommaDelimitedList

Default: empty string

A comma-separated list with allowed pixel densities - modified pd. Requests are validated against this list only if the list is not empty. For example 1,2,3.

AllowedResolutions

Type: CommaDelimitedList

Default: empty string

A comma-separated list with allowed pixel resolutions - modifiers w and h. Requests are validated against this list only if the list is not empty. For example 300x300,300x,x200 allows requests on images with dimensions 300x300 or with 300 width and calculated height or with 200 height and calculated width.

AllowedQualities

Type: CommaDelimitedList

Default: empty string

A comma-separated list with allowed qualities - modifier q. Requests are validated against this list only if the list is not empty. For example: 80,90,100.

EncodeQuality

Type: Number

Default: 90

An encode quality for cached images.

SourceBucketName

Type: String

Default: image-storage-source

A unique Source Bucket's name.

CacheBucketName

Type: String

Default: image-storage-cache

A unique Cache Bucket's name.

CacheMaxAge

Type: Number

Default: 31536000

The maximum cache age in seconds. The value is used for HTTP headers Cache-Control and Expires.

NoImages

Type: CommaDelimitedList

Default: empty string

Named paths for no-images in format name::path. For example default::noimage/noapp is a definition for a default no-image image that is stored as noimage/noapp.

NoImagePatterns

Type: CommaDelimitedList

Default: empty string

Named patterns for no-images in format name::pattern. or example if you define user::^userAvatar\/ and a path of a requested image will match regex then a no-image named user will be returned.

Supported modifiers and image types

Modifiers

Name Shortcut Type Note
Original original - A modifier without a value, use it if you want to return the original image
Height h Integer Can be restricted by parameter AllowedResolutions
Width w Integer Can be restricted by parameter AllowedResolutions
Pixel density pd Integer|Float Can be restricted by parameter AllowedPixelDensity
Aspect ratio ar String Required format is {Int|Float}x{Int|Float} and a height or a width (not both) must be also defined. For example w:200,ar:1x2 is an equivalent of w:200,h:400
Fit f String See supported fits for the list of supported values
Orientation o Integer|String Allowed values are auto, 0, 90, -90, 180, -180, 270, -270
Quality q Integer Can be restricted by parameter AllowedQualities

Image types

  • JPEG - .jpeg or .jpg
  • Progressive JPEG - .pjpg
  • PNG - .png
  • GIF - .gif (animations support)
  • WEBP - .webp (animations support)
  • AVIF - '.avif'

Supported fits

  • contain - Preserving aspect ratio, resize the image to be as large as possible while ensuring its dimensions are less than or equal to both those specified.
  • stretch - Ignore the aspect ratio of the input and stretch to both provided dimensions.
  • fill - Preserving aspect ratio, contain within both provided dimensions using "letterboxing" where necessary.
  • crop-* - Preserving aspect ratio, ensure the image covers both provided dimensions by cropping to fit.
    • crop-center
    • crop-left
    • crop-right
    • crop-top
    • crop-top-left
    • crop-top-right
    • crop-bottom
    • crop-bottom-left
    • crop-bottom-right

Usage

Generated images are cached in a Cache Bucket. A name of the Cache Bucket that is defined by parameter CacheBucketName. If some image is requested and the Cache Bucket contains it then the image is returned directly. Otherwise, a Lambda function is called, and it will try to access the image through the Source Bucket (a name defined by parameter SourceBucketName), modify it and save it to the Cache Bucket. The Lambda function can return an error 404 or a no-image image if some is provided by you.

After the application will be successfully deployed you will see the application's outputs in the console like this:

Successfully created/updated stack - {STACK_NAME} in {REGION}

The value of key CacheBucketDistribution is a host URL for your application.

Simple example

Firstly upload any image to the Source Bucket but the name of the object (your image) must be always without a file extension! For example if your image is called picoftheday.jpeg and you will drop it to the root of the Source Bucket then you must rename it just to picoftheday. Your image can be placed into any directory of course.

Then you can try to request some modifications of the image:

https://{HASH}.cloudfront.net/original/picoftheday.jpeg - returns the original image
https://{HASH}.cloudfront.net/original/picoftheday.png - returns the original image but in a PNG format
https://{HASH}.cloudfront.net/w:200,h:100,o:90/picoftheday.jpeg - returns an image with dimensions 200x100 and rotated by 90 degrees
https://{HASH}.cloudfront.net/w:200,h:100,pd:2,q:50/picoftheday.jpeg - returns an image with dimensions 400x200 (because of pixel density) and with output quality 50%
...
https://{HASH}.cloudfront.net/picoftheday.jpeg - an error 500, the URL must always contains an modifiers
https://{HASH}.cloudfront.net/foo/original/bar.jpeg - an error 404, missing object `foo/bar` in the Source Bucket

Example with NoImages

The NoImages are images provided by you that are returned instead of the 404 response if a requested image not found. For example you can configure the parameters NoImages and NoImagePatterns with this values:

  • NoImages - default::noimage/default,user::noimage/user
  • NoImagePatterns - user::^userAvatar\/

Then upload any images with names default and user (without file extensions again) into a directory noimage in the Source Bucket. So paths to objects will be noimage/default and noimage/user

Then you can try to request some nonexistent images:

https://{HASH}.cloudfront.net/foo/bar/w:50/baz.jpeg - an image `noimage/default` with 50px width in JPEG format is returned 
https://{HASH}.cloudfront.net/user/foo/w:50/bar.png -  an image `noimage/user` with 50px width in PNG format is returned
