Best Practices for Managing High-Quality Product Images in a Catalog/E-commerce Website
I'm developing a product catalog website that will eventually transition into an e-commerce platform. Current specifications:
- 13 products
- 4-6 high-quality images per product
- Images already optimized using AVIF format with WebP fallback
My main question: What's the recommended approach for storing and serving these images? I'm considering two options:
- Using a CDN (Content Delivery Network)
- Storing images in a cloud storage bucket
I'd appreciate advice on which solution would be more suitable for both current needs and future scalability.

You can do both, as many storage buckets have CDN capabilities. Just be aware of cost considerations and also integrations with your current tech stack.
Many websites use S3 buckets for their assets.
Thank you! I'm going to take a look on s3
