Music Management Platform: Artist & Track Distribution System
November 6, 2025
Client and The Problem
The music management platform faced significant challenges with extremely large file uploads, particularly uncompressed video and audio files often exceeding 1 GB. These massive files were consuming excessive cloud storage space and causing slow upload speeds, making the system inefficient and costly to maintain. The large file sizes created bottlenecks in the workflow, frustrating users who had to wait extended periods for uploads to complete. Storage costs were escalating rapidly, and the poor upload experience was impacting user satisfaction and productivity.
Solution
-
We implemented an intelligent file compression system that automatically compresses videos and audio files before storing them in the cloud bucket. To address the time-consuming compression process, we developed a background processing solution that first uploads the original file to provide immediate user feedback, then runs compression in the background and replaces the original with the compressed version once complete. This approach ensures users can continue working without waiting for compression to finish while still achieving the storage and performance benefits.
Results
-
Storage costs reduced significantly due to smaller file sizes from compression, while upload speeds improved dramatically for end users. The background processing system eliminated user wait times, allowing immediate continuation of work after upload initiation. Cloud storage efficiency increased substantially, reducing ongoing operational costs. User experience improved markedly with faster uploads and seamless workflow continuation. The system now handles large media files efficiently without impacting performance or user productivity.
