Cloudinary resource json trim for image picker
Media picker with minimal asset metadata
Cloudinary payloads are heavy for Vue / SPA. Return public_id format width height only from resources list. RealComposer output mapping returns only the fields your UI needs at the edge.
Why Cloudinary resource json trim for image picker is hard without an edge proxy
Calling Cloudinary directly from Vue / SPA risks leaked secrets, CORS blocks, or oversized JSON that slows rendering.
- Exposed API keys in Vue / SPA bundles or DevTools
- Sequential upstream calls on slow mobile networks
- Third-party rate limits and surprise billing spikes
How RealComposer Solves This at the Edge
Store credentials in Secret Vault
Save CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET in RealComposer.
Configure edge pipeline
Add upstream steps with vault header injection and map the response fields your client needs.

Developer Questions & Troubleshooting
Is it safe to call Cloudinary from Vue / SPA?
Only if secrets stay off the device. RealComposer injects credentials on the server edge so clients never hold production keys.
Does RealComposer add latency?
Cloudflare edge execution adds a few milliseconds; caching can answer repeat calls in under 10ms.
