Created for the Guardian Fastly Hack day. I aimed to improve the rendering of our social media post sharing thumbnail images. Namely, I wanted to add some details about the article content to the image itself to make it clearer to users what they are clicking on.
The project runs on Fastly’s Compute@Edge
Useful commands:
fastly compute serve --skip-verification --watchfastly compute deploy
It also uses the excellent image and imageproc libraries for rust to do the image manipulation.
The content is served through the Guardians' CAPI (content api) infra.
