What is thumbor? Ecosystem?
thumbor is an extensible imaging HTTP server. It crops, resizes and transforms images on-demand and serves this images to users.
The extensible nature of thumbor means there are dozens of projects that extend it. Image loaders, storages and results storages, filters, detectors and much more.
Apart from these extensions there's all sort of programming language and web framework integrations.
This is what we call thumbor's ecosystem. All the cool projects that extend and improve thumbor's usage all over the world. You can learn more about it at awesome-thumbor.
These extensions allow thumbor to run in almost any architecture and cloud out there: AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean and even self-hosted. There are people using Redis, MongoDB, Postgres, Ceph, S3 and many others for storage of images, and the number of possibilities is endless.
You can explore that and more in thumbor's docs.

Bootcamp Tasks
Bootcamp tasks are how you interact with this learning experience. We believe in learning through action.
Thumbor will have bootcamp tasks divided by area of expertise and level.
Areas of Expertise
These will be labels in tasks and help you pick something that interests you.
Some examples are user onboarding, documentation, website & branding, extensibility, imaging and image quality, performance and maintainability.
Task Levels
Disclaimer:
These tasks consider an investment of 2h a day for the estimates.
If you are investing less time, no worries, just adjust your expectations.
This is by no means a deadline. **It's done when it's done.**
Level | Effort | Expected Duration | Size | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
L1 | Low | ~1d | Single file/module | This is the bread and butter for people joining thumbor-bootcamp. This is where you start. |
L2 | Medium | ~3-4d | Single file/module | Requires some knowledge about how thumbor and its parts work. |
L3 | Medium | ~2w | Multiple files/modules | This is a project level task. It involves discussing what you are doing, creating tests, updating docs. This is where you actually start learning about what it takes to keep a project the size of thumbor with momentum. |
L4 | Large | ~1m | Multiple files/modules/projects | This is a transformative task that greatly benefits the ecosystem and the community. Once you complete a few of these, we expect to welcome you to the maintainers team, so you can also help onboard other bootcampers. |
