The Sophora Image Service offers interfaces for the retrieval and generation of image variants. The image variants are stored in a separate S3 memory. Advantages include the optimization of memory requirement and generation effort, reduction of the pressure on the CPUs on the Sophora Delivery Servers and the easy addition of new image formats.
