Tooting my own horn — My latest work on the Mastodon container image got a mention in the recent Mastodon Engineering
blog post. blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/

Between this work and some earlier changes, the container image for 4.3 is less than half the size of the 4.2 container (1.56 GB to 700 MB) and the optimized libvips configuration had a noticeable reduction of CPU usage for image processing compared to ImageMagick.

Screenshot of Mastodon blog post.
PERFORMANCE
'libvips' support has been
merged! ImageMagick is still available, but
we plan to switch the default to 'libvips' in
the next version, then remove ImageMagick
support. "libvips' > 8.13 is required, and
our official container images uses
"libvips' out of the box - @ PR #30090
(by gargron)
CONTAINER
'libvips' and ' ffmpeg' are
now built from source in our official
container image, allowing us to use just the
dependencies we need and to use the latest
version, removing several hundred
megabytes from the image. Those versions
are also automatically tracked by Renovate,
to ensure we update them. — @ PR #30571
(by vmstan) - @ PR #30569 (by vmstan)

Graph of CPU utilization showing reduction from about peaks of 20% through the day down to 10% for image processing after implementing libvips
