Pixel Generator

Thumbnails, generated by a pipeline you can actually watch run.

Drop an image in. It uploads directly to S3, an event fans it out over SQS, a Lambda function resizes and re-encodes it, and the result lands back here, no server in between.

How the pipeline works

01 · Amazon S3

File streams straight to the source bucket through a presigned URL — it never touches our servers.

02 · Amazon SQS

An S3 event notification drops a job onto the queue so processing never blocks the upload.

03 · AWS Lambda

A Lambda function resizes, compresses, and re-encodes the image to your chosen spec.

04 · Amazon S3

The finished file lands in the destination bucket and streams back down to you.
