If you want to store video data as BLOBs in a DB, you can get there easily.

Maybe not the best idea, I guess a file system would be better for that, and just use the DB for metadata.

But OTOH all the data is one place, so you just migrate the DB. Less to worry about.

I just looked up, all of English Wikipedia (including images) is barely even 100 GB ... crazy world we live in.

You wouldn’t say less to worry about when you have to do full backup or show recovery from backup within a set recovery time .

This one data store is easier is a myth , it just offloads complexity from developer to infra teams who are now provisioning premium NVMe storage instead of cold object stores for binary data .

Binary data is not indexed or aggregated in a SQL store there is no value in doing this is one place expect dev experience at the cost of infra team experience.
