Pro
Handles fast CDN transformations for you
Uploadcare doesn't require you to define cached transformations, and handles them quickly for you so you don't have to fiddle with configurations.

Con
Doesn't handle SVGs well

Pro
Open source API
Their APIs are open source on github so you can see the source and provide pull requests.

Top
Pro
Clean and thoughtful client side API.
Uploadcare provides a client side widget and API, with well worded documentation that clearly explains how each part of the widget is implemented. The client side API also implements the jQuery promises interface for cleanly defining callbacks and updating with progress. With the client side API decoupled from the upload interface, you can much more easily create customized UI's that match the look and feel of your site.

Took a few seconds to setup
Upload.js installed into our web app in a few seconds. It's a lightweight library, so there's no UI elements. A "file input element" was already present on our page, and with Upload.js you set their helper method as the "onchange" attribute, and they take care of everything else from there.

Pro
Image resizing & cropping
Used their AI image cropping for some projects (you don't define crop geometry yourself -- they detect which part to crop for you), and manual cropping for others (where the user wanted to set which part of the image to crop in the UI). We're currently saving all our images out to webp.

Pro
Very cost-effective
Time savings aside, it's very cost-effective. Entry tier for like $7pm worked well for several client projects. Only upgraded to the $35pm tier because a client wanted password-protected files -- other than that, the quotas / limits are very generous.

Pro
Large scale point of presence
Being one of the worlds largest CDNs, Akamai's large scale gives it a huge point of presence (PoP) to handle volumetric attacks.
See More
Top
Con
Expensive
Akami's services cost more than triple comparative packages from other security companies. At 13k a month for DDoS protection, there are many other choices out there that cost less for the same protection.

Top
Pro
Deeply customizable rules
The Kona Site Defender rules are all customizable, with continuous updates from Akamai. This means you can see how they are protecting your site under the hood, and adjust them to your needs.
See More
Top
Con
Slower security rule propagation
Because of Akamai's large CDN structure, it can take some time for security rules to propagate, making it harder to adjust security responses on the fly.

Top
Pro
Lots of dedicated bandwidth specifically for DDoS absorption
Through Prolexic's PLXedge, Akamai provides their customers with a total of 2.3 Tbps of dedicated DDoS absorption bandwidth.

Top
Pro
Rules for rate limiting
Akamai provides tools for rate controlling traffic segments based on their request rate behavior.

Top
Pro
Capped bursting fees
If a sudden attack sucks up a lot of bandwidth, the bandwidth costs are capped.

Pro
Application layer protection
Akamai utilizes a proprietary web application firewall in order to provide scalable protection against application layer attacks.

BPG - Format

Top
Con
is an underground image format...
is not suported by actual profesional viewers or editors
See More
Top
Pro
Same image quality, half the size
BPG is able to produce the same image quality as JPEG but at half the size. This is simply because is uses a newer codec, x265 which is the open-source implementation of HEVC/H.265.
See More
Top
Con
No native support in browsers
No browsers support native decoding of this format yet. It should be noted though, that there's a JavaScript implementation of the decoder which can execute and decode BPG files.
See More
Top
Pro
Open source
BPG is an open source implementation which only took a few months to be created. It is not created by some international standardization body (like ITU or ISO), which take several years to create and update standards. Since it's open source, changes can be proposed at any time, and if they benefit the project, they are merged into the main branch. This ensures that the standard is always up to date and that fixes can come quickly.

Top
Pro
More bits per color channel
BPG is able to render more bits per color channel compared to JPEG. 14 bits vs just 8 bits.
See More
Top
Pro
Alpha channel
BPG has an alpha channel, which adds transparency to BPG images if needed.

Garbage format
Ultra compression algorithm destroys any traces of quality...is another google emanation...is not a copy of an image not even a preview or thumb is just a luke-like representation of the original image...destroys color profile and outlines look horrible... avoid this if you have respect for quality.

Con
Not production ready
Red is still under development and not considered stable.
See More
Top
Pro
Simple toolchain
Other languages have complex, multi-step setups that beginners often get stuck on. Red has no installer, no setup, no dependencies*, just a single small (~1MB) command-line executable with both the compiler and repl. On Windows, you don't even have to launch executable from the command line--it has a GUI-console.

Con
Still in beta
It mostly works. It's good enough for building usable applications, but some planned features are missing.

Top
Pro
Very simple syntax
Red syntax is a lot like Rebol. It's easier than most languages for beginners to pick up.
See More
Top
Pro
Both low and high-level
Red has low enough access to do systems programming, but it's expressive enough for high-level scripting.
See More
Top
Pro
Low cognitive load
Red has very simple syntax that's easy to learn. It gets out of your way and lets you think about the problem instead, enhancing productivity.
