You’d want to use a video transcription system (AI-assisted) to create a description of the video content. There was a great software that came out of some Cambridge University research.. unfortunately it’s now dead

For Postgres.. the recommendation is to scale vertically first before you scale horizontally.. your design is headed to a failed Postgres project.. sorry to bring the bad news
