There are a number of ways this can be accomplished. I wrote a simple Cloud Function in Node that uses the npm Sharp library. Images are stored in a Cloud Storage bucket and resized on the fly. Cache control is used to limit resource usage. Unless the original images are particularly large, this seems to work reasonably quickly (100-200ms for a non-cached request). Performance could be further improved by saving resized images in Cloud Storage bucket.

I previously developed a image service on AWS where requests went directly to the S3 bucket. If no image was found, the request would be redirected to a Lambda function, which would generate the image, save it to S3, and return it to the browser. Sadly, GCP Cloud Storage buckets don't have a mechanism for server-side redirects when a 404 error is encountered.

I think it's really important that Google takes action here. This is a standard feature on competitor CDN platforms like Vercel.

this is pretty crucial

Feel like I'm witnessing a game of hot potato played out in extremely slow motion.

Being waiting for this for years.

same here, come on google

I'm curious if this is the right place to get this prioritized. Would we have better luck pushing for resourcing if we asked on one one of the cloud forums and got more user votes? Would really love to see this feature as opposed to using something external :)
