I'm looking to be able to have all those features on a platform that doesn't charge us $500+ a month.
We have users uploading images to our system. We use cloudinary to automatically resize/compress those images down, and then they are served up through their CDN.
Our issue is we have too much traffic, so we use a lot of bandwidth.
Ask HN: Best alternative for image hosting/scaling for high traffic site?
Previously we hosted everything right off of our own server, but as our traffic has grown, we moved to cloudinary so that we could utilize their systems features to do image resizing and scaling on the fly and serve images through their cdn which would help speed up our app.Unfortunately, we've priced ourselves outside of cloudinary and need to look elsewhere. Right now we're doing close to 1TB...

Re:Ask HN: How to stop bots/spammers in their tracks on an entry form?
on Thursday August 28, 2014 @10:57PM (#8240933)
Isn't this basically the honeypot captcha or invisble captcha method? I don't think it would work as well since we our forms are submitted via ajax request, but I could be mistaken?
Ask HN: How to stop bots/spammers in their tracks on an entry form?
We're trying to come up with a solution to a major spam and bot issue we've been having. Basically, we have an entry form for people to fill out asking for basic information (name, email, address, etc. --sometimes we ask for just email).Our forms are posted on thousands of websites and domains, and so we've started to see incoming spam and bots executing the forms, submitting fake...
