Why not just cache the generated images but still generate them on demand?

btw, I am doing the exact same thing on bitcoininflationindex.com. I use netlify for my frontend and use their "On-demand builders" to generate images which are cached on the edge.
https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/on-demand-builders/
Works perfect for this use-case. You could spin up a netlify microservice specifically for this purpose and run it separate from the site.
Here is my code for reference: https://gist.github.com/theshanergy/42fd16010cc968b47f93df1a5413a6f1

That’s an option I’m thinking about. I don’t use netlify but I could do something like this with AWS lambda.
