Duplicate Use presigned URLs for attachments when using external data storage

[K a M a L]

when using an external storage provider .. Xenforo has to connect to storage API to get the file to serve to user. it costs server and network resources and can cause unexpected issues when external data provider is slow .. using presigned URLs will allow serving files directly from storage API to user without routing through the forum. and saves a lot of resources.

I believe this has been suggested before, potentially a long time ago but the only one I can find at the moment is this:

XenForo need a revamped attachments system

Currently XenForo have a very ineffective attachments management system, performance-wise. First of all, it stores attachments (images) uploads as is, there is no optimization applied (that I know of). Secondly, it serve attachments with "private, no-cache, max-age=0" so every request to view...

xenforo.com

But on that basis I'll close this as a duplicate and support/discussion should be directed to the above suggestion.
