The image thing is complicated.
I run piefed.social's infrastructure, it's just a medium-sized VPS that has the database, web app, api, etc all in one. There's also an old server at my home that's used for some auxiliary stuff like translation services which are shared across all PieFed instances and which runs chat.piefed.social and translate.piefed.social.
Related question: How much bandwidth does piefed.social end up using?
Aking because I'm experimenting with my own Piefed instance and are interested to know the worst-case CDN costs if people would actually start to use it (as if I have any compelling reason to choose my instance, lol).
