Is everyone still using imagemagik under the hood? I’ve been out of the web server game for a while.

The rest of the world is catching up to the fact that containers are superior for modern, agile application deployment so nitpicking libraries is really only a thing when the security teams come knocking.

Containers are the ultimate "works for me" in software development. My experience it makes for more fragile software that depends on its environment being perfect and nothing else will do.

It sounds like you've confused containers with not containers, friend.

[–] nyoooom@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well no, containers allow you to know exactly the environment it runs into, no matter what the actual host environment is, you can run your program on windows, Linux, Mac or any other Docker supported system and it will work the same, I don't see how that's fragile.

imagemagik

Yes, but it's more of the middle wide block of the picture. Under it, there are quite a few tools that have been maintained by some lonesome guys since 90's and some that haven't been updated for years. Sometimes both. Learned about that the hard way, unfortunately.

Yes 👍 does the job and does it fast
