It sounds like a small ask — flip a switch, wire up a login button, done. But the moment you start pulling on that thread, you find out it's not a switch at all. It's a decision about where identity lives across every system you own, and getting it wrong means you end up with the same mess you started with, just with a single sign-on button in front of it.</p> https://blog.terakedis.dev/post/b2-cloudflare-image-hosting/ Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.terakedis.dev/post/b2-cloudflare-image-hosting/ <p>When I migrated this blog to Hugo, I had to figure out where images would live. My original thought was simple enough: store them in the GitHub repo. That worked fine for six months. Then I started thinking about what happens when I have hundreds of posts with images, and the repo turns into a photo dump.</p> <p>I looked at Cloudflare Images next. It seemed obvious—I'm already paying for Cloudflare for DNS and SSL. But the pricing pushed me away: the transform API costs add up if you're generating variants (WebP, different sizes), and I'd be locking myself into Cloudflare's image manipulation if I ever wanted to migrate. That didn't feel like room to grow.</p>
