I've been developing RonR applications for three years and wish to start making things a little easier.
I'd like to hire someone who is mature in their thinking to help me find a solution.
My ambition is to find a way for users' to upload graphic media ( photos, audio, video ) using a RESTful approach to someone elses' server. The result in my programs would be to simply accept a "file was uploaded successfully" reply and save the RESTful address in my data files.
I know this can be done to AWS but the processing logic must be from my applications, which I don't want to do.
When my users' uploaded a file to this service/strategy I would receive back;
1. thumbnail HTTP address 2. Source file HTTP address
Did you ever drool when you look at how perfect the thumbnails are on major sites such as Images.Google or BING? I am so envious as using attachment_fu I'm always struggling to get these to look uniform. Also, I continually have memory issues when I try to process eccentricly sized files and resent having to pay for bigger resources with my VPS when this all goes to image processing horsepower.
I am grateful for any reply. David
