A company is expanding the compatibility of its photo-snaring mobile app to hundreds of additional...

This solution meets the requirements most cost-effectively because it optimizes the photos on demand and caches them for future requests. Lambda@Edge allows the developer to run Lambda functions at AWS locations closer to viewers, which can reduce latency and improve photo quality. The developer can create a Lambda@Edge function that uses the GET parameters from each request to optimize the photos with the required dimensions and resolutions and returns them as a response. The function can also store a copy of the processed photos on Amazon S3 for subsequent requests, which can reduce processing time and costs. Using S3 Batch Operations to create new variants of the photos will incur additional storage costs and may not cover all possible dimensions and resolutions. Creating a dynamic CloudFront origin or a Lambda@Edge function to route requests to corresponding photo variants will require maintaining a mapping of device types and photo variants, which can be complex and error-prone.
