Description reviews

1. Database Architecture Overview

A Relational Database (RDBMS) like PostgreSQL is recommended for structured data (users, orders, metadata), paired with S3-compatible Object Storage (AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage) for the actual .cube and .jpg files.

2. Core Data Models (Schema)

Users & Auth: Stores profile info, roles (Admin/Customer), and purchase history.
Products (Bundles):
- id, title, description, category (LUTs/Photos), base_price.
- tags (Array or JSONB for filtering by "Moody", "Vintage", etc.).
Assets (Individual Files):
- product_id (FK), file_path (S3 URL), file_type (LOG/Rec.709/RAW), resolution/grid_size.
Orders & Licenses:
- order_id, user_id, license_type (Personal/Commercial).
- status (Pending/Completed).
Download Logs: Tracks user_id, ip_address, and timestamp to prevent link sharing/abuse.

3. Key Management Features

Asset Versioning: Ability to update a LUT pack (e.g., v1.1) and notify existing buyers.
Secure URL Generation:
- The database should store file keys, but the backend must generate Presigned URLs (Time-limited links) for downloads.
Metadata Extraction:
- For Photos: Automatic parsing of EXIF data (ISO, Shutter, Camera model) into the database.
- For LUTs: Storing technical specs (Input/Output color space).

4. Performance & Scalability

Indexing: Create indexes on tags, category, and slug for lightning-fast search queries.
Caching: Implement Redis for caching product listings and frequently accessed user session data.
Read Replicas: If scaling globally, use read replicas to reduce latency for browsing.

5. Security & Compliance

Encryption at Rest: Ensure all customer data and transaction records are encrypted.
Access Control (RBAC): Strict permissions for internal staff (e.g., "Uploader" role can add files but not delete orders).
Soft Deletes: Use deleted_at timestamps instead of hard-deleting products to maintain order history integrity.

6. Admin Management Interface (Dashboard)

Batch Uploader: Interface to upload 100+ photos or LUTs at once with auto-assignment to a bundle.
Sales Analytics: Real-time tracking of top-selling packs and revenue trends.
Coupon Management: System to generate and validate discount codes.
