If you want to tackle image resizing, you may also take a look at the serverless sharp image library which uses Sharp, a high performance Node.js library for image resizing which is about 3x - 5x faster compared to GM/IM. You didn't provide enough informations to say that it fits your use case requirements but I just wanted to mention it since this library already saved me a lot of AWS Lambda costs so far.
