Store video where it belongs
Large recordings use object storage instead of being pushed through ordinary application database fields.

Cloud-based infrastructure
Separate interactive product workflows from long-running media work, store large recordings in object storage and keep processing retry-ready.
Why it matters
Stop treating the workout, the calendar and the game as separate conversations. Give everyone a clear place to start β and something useful to come back to.
Large recordings use object storage instead of being pushed through ordinary application database fields.
Media conversion and vision work run asynchronously while the product API coordinates user workflows.
Upload and worker contracts account for duplicate delivery, interrupted work and eventual completion.
An early SIP deployment can run economically with a compact cloud footprint while storing recordings in S3-compatible object storage. As usage grows, the API, workers, database and storage can be sized independently according to real demand.
The product remains a modular monolith at the API boundary rather than creating premature network complexity. Logical domains and versioned worker contracts preserve clean boundaries so media processing can scale without fragmenting the core product unnecessarily.
Reliable infrastructure is more than choosing a provider. Production operation requires monitoring, backups, restore testing, lifecycle policies, least-privilege access, cost alerts and capacity planning for the video volume teams actually generate.
SIP's separation of application, storage and worker concerns makes those responsibilities visible and gives operators clearer levers for reliability and cost control.
