Why is the post storage designed for 2000 UTF-8 characters (~4 KB of text), and how to store images?

The post storage is designed for 2000 UTF-8 characters, which roughly corresponds to 4 KB of text, to limit data size and ensure efficient storage and quick access. This size is suitable for most text posts, including spaces and punctuation.

Images should not be stored directly in the database as binary data, as this increases load and complicates scaling. Instead, it is recommended to:

• Store images in specialized storage services (e.g., Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage).
• Store only links (URLs) to these images in the database.

This allows for efficient media file management and reduces load on the database.
