We are currently transitioning our AppEngine "standard" services to the new AppEngine flexible environment.
On AppEngine standard we used the
Images Java API to create serving URLs for images stored on Google Storage. These serving URLs allowed us to manipulate images on the URL-level (e.g. resize) and serve them from Google's fast CDN.
Is this still supported in AppEngine's flexible environment? Seems that the Images service is not supported by
gcloud-java.
The alternative we found is to use 3rd-party services like
Wix Media Platform or
Cloudinary. Apart from having to migrate our data, we really loved the Images service...
