Cloudinary/Directus
If I use Cloudinary to store my images, do I upload the images using their widget uploader in SvelteKit and save a reference in Directus or do I have to setup Cloudinary in my Railway Directus template to have it handle the storage. If it is the second, are there egress fees? If setup in Directus, is it okay to add the Cloudinary after the fact or do I break something? I don't care about existing images as I only have a few currently. Thanks.

N/A@Medim @Attacler/Bart one of you two uses directus, can you answer this please
Its the second thing and yes it will cost egress, you can always add cloudinary later
If you do migrate files, they must be named the same and you have to update the storage column to match the new storage name
I know you can't answer this definitively, but will egress costs be similar to regular Railway costs. ie if my usage costs on Railway are like $50 would my egress fees be similar or would they be some X of that?
I guess it would be more or less the same since egress will only be outgoing traffic
Some people use direct links to S3 ect to avoid routing traffic trough Directus
and it would only be on the file upload correct, since the files from front end would be displayed from Cloudinary?
Correct, altho you must know that there would not be any permissions on it
So it would be all public
(If people know the fileid)
That's not a concern. All the images will be public.
