Hi, I’m planning to launch a new site and my idea is to use a load balancer and different servers. My “problem” is to understand if Space could be the best choice to store all the image so each application server can access it and I do not need to replace it on each application instance.
What do you think? Is something good or should I evaluate other solutions?

Hey friend!
Functionally, for the problem you are looking to overcome, Spaces seems like a very logical choice. This is an area where object storage does tend to shine.
Now @X40C did bring up a good point in that a CDN in front of it is a desirable thing if the data is popular and rapidly accessed by very large numbers of clients at once.

Thank you both. The site will have many images per page so I think that the CDN will be a must have in this case.
My only fear is the space, don’t think to use all the 250gb but in the future probably it will.
Should I continue on this road or evaluate something like attached volume? Maybe on the DB server so it will be shared among the balanced servers?
