Our previous solution of storing images of different sizes was unscalable and split over multiple language and server configurations. To resolve this situation we wrote a microservice that is able to receive an image, apply specified conversions (like resize, crop, watermark, add/remove meta, etc) and upload it back to configured location.
One of the main goals was to make it convenient to change image conversion profiles.
Such service was written in Rust at one of the internal hackatons at Avito.
- You will need rust building environment. It'is usually set up from your package manager or via Rustup
- After you've got Rust, just run

You can help the project by:
- create PRs that solve issues or add new features
- use the service at your site and create new issues if you happen to find any
