    I think this is the answer I was looking for! Thanks for taking the time to go into depth with it.

    I'm somewhat familiar with the S3 approach, as that's how I store, for example, user profile pictures for my social apps.

    I had assumed I was going to need to go into some heavy research for this project - but it seems like I'll just be able to use AWS after all! Thanks for the tips :)

    The former. I can handle building out the rest of the service, and all the stuff on the business-end (should I ever decide to actually pursue this beyond a passion-project). Just unsure of how to build up the database type I need.

    Ideally, I'm building something akin to Cloudinary which would allow users to store images and videos on my service. I like how stored images are viewable on their console, and the image-transformation services they offer.

    I'm unsure if storing the raw files on my end would be preferable, or if I should just back the service with something like AWS.

    Hello everyone!

    I've recently got an idea for a Database as a Service I'd like to create. The only issue is - I don't know how to create or host a database!

    I've only ever used Mongoose/mLab with Javascript, and a minimal amount of Postgres with Python.

    If I'm looking to create a database that will, eventually, be able to store images, songs, and videos, where should I start my homework?

    I can create the backend and the frontend with no issue - just stuck on this part here. If it's of any relevance, I most frequently use the MERN stack.
