Hey
I'm currently making an app that lets users upload images to associate with their products and I was wondering how I should deal with images in regards to storage and such.
Currently when the user submits the form, the app takes each image and makes 3 versions of it and adds one DB entry. Now I'm thinking, lets say for each product I have 14 pictures, that's 42 images for each product. Now if I end up with +50.000 products I'd end up with +2.100.000 images, hrmm...
I'm not too familiar with this type of thing but how would a server deal with a folder with +2.100.000 images?
I'm thinking I could create the different versions/sizes of it on the fly but that would just bring the server to its knees no?
I'd appreciate if somebody could help me out.
Thanks
