Hi, friends! Sorry for the trouble πŸ˜“

In short: Old outfit image URLs are expiring, but you can get the updated URL right here!

The history

When we started hosting outfit images back in 2012, we didn't know a lot about web infrastructure, and we weren't thinking a lot about permanent URLs πŸ˜… We uploaded images directly to{" "} Amazon S3, and gave you Amazon's URL for them, at amazonaws.com.

Since then, we've grown a lot, and our Amazon costs have increased a lot too! These days, it costs about $30/month to serve outfit images from S3β€”and $20 of that is just to store our millions of outfit images, including the ones nobody visits πŸ˜…

So, we've moved our apps to a new, more cost-efficient way to share outfit images! But, until we delete the old images from Amazon S3 altogether, we're still paying $20/month just to support the old amazonaws.com URLs.

I looked hard for a way to redirect the old Amazon URLs to our new service, but it seems to not be possible, and it seems like $20/month could be better spent another way πŸ˜–

I'm truly sorry for breaking some of the lookups and petpages out there, and I hope this tool helps folks migrate to the new version quickly and easily! πŸ™
