Image Optimization for Cloudflare R2

[escwxyz]

Hello, I have checked the Cloudflare D1 template with R2 integration and found that image optimization / dimensions are disabled as these are tightly coupled with sharp.

Would that make sense to have a workers only plugin to support this, such as using the wasm version of photon, injecting the image processing logic in before change hooks?

If you're using the Cloudflare stack, it makes sense to use Cloudflare's image transformation service to serve optimized images on your front-end that are derived from your original full-size images hosted on R2.

You can use URL transformation parameters directly in your front-end templates, or if you want more advanced control – you can transform via the worker or through a worker binding.

The above native solution would be most efficient, especially over a wasm-derived custom image processing worker.

Thanks. Yeah the native way is the best.
