The Developer Society
Alex Tomkins
I'm a co-founder and director at The Developer Society, a not-for-profit co-op digital agency. I'm fond of all things Python and Django - especially Wagtail, as well as infrastructure as code with Terraform. In my spare time I enjoy tenpin bowling, and learning about stenography.
Faster thumbnails for a faster web
We'll show the importance of generating the right thumbnails, and a few alternatives to help speed up thumbnails
Outline:
- An oops from one of the sites we've recently done
- The pains of Pillow (security, performance), and Wagtail thumbnailing
- The importance of modern thumbnailing for performance and carbon footprint
- A Wagtail package that can speed things up
- An alternative approach we ended up with to go faster
