I have an application which uploads images (png and jpeg) of at least 3 MB in size to the server and the server processes the images by creating 3 resized thumbnails of type webp.
The problem is the processing duration as well as resource consumption on the server - it takes 2 seconds to process one single photo with the 3 image outputs and the resources are almost 100% used during upload process as only one image is uploaded at a time not to "kill" the server and allow other API operations.
The server processor doesn't have integrated graphics, so when I run do the processing locally on my laptop of similar configuration but with Ryzen 7 5800U processor, it only takes 600 ms to run through the whole process (upload time is not considered, it takes 2 seconds on the server once the image is uploaded vs 600 ms on the local machine).
My question is what is the optimal approach to server/instance selection? Are there instances with processors with integrated graphics (similar to Interl Xeon E3 Family) which could handle this kind of tasks more efficiently?
Server sizing:
vCPU (Intel Xeon 20x 3.60 GHz): 8
RAM: 32 GB
