Hi all :)

I’m putting together a web app for a small music festival, and part of what I want to do is add photos from the various events that we hold. At the moment, they’re being posted to Facebook, but I’d prefer to have something separate from that.

My thinking is to make a slideshow of lower resolution photos for the web app, and keep the full sized versions on Facebook so that people can download or share them. Even doing this is going to eventually bloat the app though.

The other problem we have is that there’s no budget for storage, so I need to make it for free if that’s possible.

Does anyone have any better idea than a lower resolution slideshow please?

    Thank you for replying 🙂

    I’ve got no idea how many photos we’ll end up using, but it’s hopefully going to change every year, rather than just adding to the older photos.

    I didn’t know about the AWS free tier, so I’ll look into that, thanks 👍

    P.S. Your grammar is excellent, and probably better than mine 😁

      You might also contemplate Cloudflare R2. It’s compatible with S3, so if you have a library that expects S3, R2 should also work, and can be cheaper (and maybe faster? Not so sure about how they store it across their edge network). They’ve got a price calculator too here.
