Tachyon Faster than light image processing. Inspired / forked from Photon. |
|
A Human Made project. Maintained by @joehoyle. |
Tachyon is an image resizing processor built to be used with Amazon S3 as the image backend, and sits behind a CDN such as CloudFlare.
It's forked from Photon however uses Image Magick rather than Graphics Magic.
Created by Human Made for high volume and large-scale sites, such as Happytables. We run Tachyon on sites with millions of monthly page views, and thousands of sites.
Written and maintained by Joe Hoyle.
Tachyon is forked from Photon by Automattic Inc. As Tachyon is not an all-purpose image resizer, rather it uses a media library in Amazon S3, it has a different use case to Photon.
