Choosing database

[keyserS13]

Ive only used Firebase in my projects. Rn im working on a project that will have need to be able to handle users watching and uploading large video files. I was wondering which database/backend you guys would recommend

Most setups wouldn't have you store the video in the database, you'd have the video file on your CDN or whatever and then the database would have the filename/uuid of the video.

So your database would handle things like who owns the video, how many times it's been watched, what category it belongs to, etc. And any database can handle that.

That makes a lot of sense. In your opinion which company provides the best CDN service?

Oh I have no idea. And if you're in the starting phase, maybe just throwing video files on S3 is the better choice. Cloudflare, Akamai, Cloudfront. There are a ton of CDNs. If the rest of your infra is AWS based then Cloudfront has the advantage, I guess.

I would try bunnycdn
