media-processing-design

What problem does it solve?

Provides a complete workflow to fetch, validate, process, store, and serve media from diverse sources so applications can reliably handle images and binary assets without bespoke tooling or ad-hoc pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Unified Fetching: Accepts media from URLs, local files, base64 payloads, or raw buffers and normalizes input handling.
• Smart Type Detection & Validation: Uses magic-number/file-signature checks and size/type limits to ensure only allowed media are processed.
• Image Processing & Optimization: Resizes, converts formats, and optimizes quality for delivery and storage efficiency.
• Serving & Storage: Stores processed artifacts to temporary or permanent storage and exposes them via an HTTP media server or CDN integration with caching and streaming.
• Security & Resilience: Implements path traversal protection, validation fallbacks, retry guidance, and alternative storage on failures.

Quick Start

Process an image from a public URL, resize it to the desired dimensions, optimize the format, store the result, and return a secure serve URL.
