Ñ How should we manage images on heroku?

Ó  Currently we manage the contents, but we’d like to open our platform as a marketplace. At that time, we need to allow users to upload images by themselves.

Details Shodo is a type of traditional Japanese art style that uses brushes and ink to write "ʺKanji"ʺ, or other Chinese characters. In the world of Shodo every single character has its own meaning and how you write the character expresses your feeling or your thought in what you write. In this lesson, you'ʹll have the opportunity to create your own unique Japanese souvenir by writing your name in Kanji on a T-‐‑shirt, a Japanese fan, or another item of your choice.

ü  Use images in different sizes ü  Cache the images ü  Use CDN (if it’s cheap)

Ñ Are there addons to meet these requirements?

Ñ  Does it meet the requirements? Ó  A heroku addon to manage images.

Ñ  What’s the benefit to use it as addon? Ó  They also provide non-‐‑addon plan which is cheaper.

Ñ  What do we have to do by ourselves? Ó  i.e. Another 3rd party service ‘chute’ provides an uploader which cloudinary doesn’t.
