Internal Web CDN & AWS Storage

Solved the problem of high server cost by moving to AWS, provably reducing the infrastructure budget for large-capacity photo and media storage to something far cheaper and more predictable.

Internal system — not publicly available.

Tech stack

  • Laravel
  • Inertia.js
  • React
  • AWS S3
  • MySQL
  • Git
  • VPS

Role

Full Stack Web Developer — storage migration and the management interface built on top of it.

Challenge

Large photo and media files from the whole ecosystem piled up on self-hosted server storage. Cost kept climbing as the archive grew, and capacity could not be expanded without a large upfront outlay.

Solution

Moved media storage to AWS S3 with an internal CDN layer in front of it, plus a Laravel + Inertia + React interface to upload, browse, and manage assets without direct bucket access.

Result

Storage infrastructure cost dropped sharply and capacity became predictable — it grows with usage instead of requiring new server purchases.
