Could you build this?
No Building an enterprise-grade media CDN with distributed replicated storage, on-the-fly transformations, and chunked resumable upload infrastructure requires deep distributed systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires an architecture similar to Cloudinary or Cloudflare Images: a global edge network, high-throughput ingest servers implementing protocols like TUS with S3 multi-part uploads, a distributed caching tier, and an on-demand image processing pipeline using libvips written in Go or C++. The hard pieces are multi-region data replication, sub-100ms image transformation and delivery at scale, DDoS mitigation, and reliable CDN edge cache invalidation.
