Proxying
better to store images locally in repo and use Cloudinary’s fetch API to proxy them and serve them from Cloudinary? easier than manually uploading those images to Cloudinary?
or simpler to just have the images in Cloudinary with all their metadata so the source of truth is Cloudinary and there’s no duplication?
idea for proxying them comes from Colby Fayock’s Netlify plugin
Why? To get access to more efficient Admin API endpoints, especially (Get resources by asset folder](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/dynamic_folders#new_admin_api_endpoints), which is only available when dynamic folders mode is enabled. That endpoint will help me avoid hitting the 500 requests per hour rate limit on the Admin API as I currently do when sending a separate request for each image on my site at build time.
