A competitor offered an e-commerce team 50% off their $2,000/mo Imgix bill. They didn't switch. Not because they liked Imgix. Because migrating image URLs across their entire platform would take months. Lock-in isn't a feature. It's a business model.
Bytespider hit one site 1.4 million times in a single day. 14GB of bandwidth. One bot. One bill. No image CDN blocks this natively. Developers are blocking entire countries just to stop it. Autorender does it at the edge. Your bill reflects real users, not bots.
A developer capped their product at 150 items. Not a technical limit. A billing limit. Cloudinary got too expensive to serve more images. Autorender is built so that never happens. Early access open — https://t.co/3vxYVpJtaM

Hey @X 👋 #connect
If you’ve dealt with any of this:
• Image costs suddenly spiking
• Too many variants / cache misses
• Slow pages because of images
• AI bots hitting your image pipeline
We should talk.
