- Storage BottlenecksStandard CMS limit of 4MB was insufficient for 128MB+ religious manuscripts.
- Bandwidth CostsStreaming 1,000+ assets would incur massive hosting fees without optimization.
- Latency IssuesInitial load times of 5s+ were unacceptable for user retention.
02. Solutions
- Hybrid Storage Engine3-Tier system: UploadThing (Cache), Cloudinary (Opt), Backblaze B2 (Archive).
- Advanced StreamingHLS & Range Requests reduced load time to <1s with "Seek-Glitch-Free" audio.
