As documented in [018-images.md](./018-images.md), the Epic Stack previously
1010
didn't implement image optimization. Both static app images and dynamic user
11-
images were served as is. However, optimizing images greatly influences web
12-
performance and reduces load times and network load. On the other hand, one of
13-
the guiding principles of the Epic Stack is to limit services (including the
14-
self-managed variety). A great middle ground is to integrate a simple image
15-
optimization solution directly into the web server. This allows each Epic Stack
16-
app to immediately utilize image optimization and serve better web experiences
17-
without prescribing a service.

On-demand image optimization with a image optimization endpoint should be
20+
sufficient for most applications and provide value right out of the gate.
21+
However, it is also important that upgrading to a dedicated service shouldn't be
22+
overly complicated and require a ton of changes.
