Image Server

By using a separate image server, you can improve website performance, improve user experience, and reduce operating costs.

What is an image server

The image server is a separate server optimized for image read and write operations.

The server running the website is called a web server.

Through the web server, users can access static web pages, web applications, databases, or upload and download images and other multimedia content.

However, if the website traffic continues to increase and the access speed becomes slower, then it should consider separating some functions from the web server.

通常，如果网站存在大量图片读写操作，那么应该首先把图片服务分离出来，也就是建立独立的图片服务器。

Advantages of image servers

In general, deploying image servers has the following advantages:

  • Share the I/O load of the web server - Separate out resource-intensive image services to improve server performance and stability
  • Optimize image servers specifically - Set targeted caching plans for image services to reduce bandwidth costs and improve access speed
  • Improve website scalability - By adding image servers, improve image throughput

Points to consider when establishing image servers

  • Choose the physical medium and file system suitable for image storage
  • Use physically independent servers
  • If you have multiple image servers, consider the image synchronization issue between servers
  • Use a separate domain
  • Formulate a reasonable caching strategy
  • Use the image processing module to reprocess the images uploaded by users

Image Cloud Storage Service

If you are running a small and medium-sized website or an internet startup team, using a third-party image cloud storage service can bring the following benefits:

1. Reduce the deployment time of image servers

2. Reduce development costs

3. Save valuable funds
