** Notice: all internal pipelines have been restricted to 30 minute timeouts, if your CI/CD runs take longer, either use your own runners or read below **
We would remind everyone that the CI/CD services provided by the university Gitlab servers are intended for CI/CD use only (ie. delivering new versions of your software to your production servers, etc).They are not intended for data analysis or -production use, or creating, building and running servers to do heavy data calculation or visualization.
As a general guideline; if your jobs take more than 15 minutes, you might be running something that is better suited for a dedicated system or a virtual server - in this case, please contact the helpdesk for a solution to your needs.

The browser should display the image that has been processed by the `sharp` library to reduce its quality, thus reducing the size of the data transfer.
The browser should display the image that has been processed by the `sharp` library to reduce its quality, thus reducing the size of the data transfer.
Note: In a real-world scenario, you would likely want to implement additional features, such as caching the processed images to avoid reprocessing them on each request, handling different image formats, and possibly providing different levels of quality based on user preferences or network conditions.
This example demonstrates how you can use server-side processing to reduce the quality of content before it is sent over the network, which can help in reducing the overall data transfer and contribute to green programming practices.
