Image uploads now go to faster, cheaper storage
PublishedIP
Iván Petrov
We migrated all image uploads off our previous CDN provider and onto a different object storage service with global edge delivery.
Why we did this:
- Speed — images now serve from edge locations closer to your readers.
- Cost — we drastically reduced our per-GB egress costs, which keeps Vlogerly's pricing stable as your blogs grow.
- Control — we own the upload path end-to-end, so adding features like signed URLs or per-image transforms is now ours to define.
Existing images keep serving from their original URLs. New uploads — from the redesigned image modal, from drag-and-drop into the editor, or from a clipboard paste — go to the new storage automatically. No migration on your end is needed.

Liam O'ConnorObject storage with a CDN edge layer is the right shape for image-heavy blogs. Asset latency was a real bottleneck on my pages.
