How did I solve the problem as a Middle? 😏

Alright, picture this: my team’s in absolute f@cking chaos—the site crashes the second users try uploading profile pics 📸💥. Clients are blowing up the phones, managers are losing their minds, and everyone’s running around like headless chickens, not knowing what the hell to do 🤯🔥.

So, me—being the goddamn pro I am—realize the issue is in the file handling or caching 📂💀. I dive in and spot that these images are uploading without any compression, like elephants stampeding through a f@cking glass shop 🐘💥. The server? Yeah, it’s on its last breath under the load.

I think, “Alright, time to fix this sh*t once and for all!” 💪🚀 First, I bring in image compression before the upload—using Sharp and Compress.js to shrink those files down to size before they even hit the server. But the problem’s still hanging around, so I notice the cache isn’t updating as it should. Like the borderline genius I am, I set up automatic cache clearing after every upload (using cache invalidation and cache-control), tweaking the settings to get those client pics moving smoothly without crushing the server 🙌💻.

End result: Images load fast, the server’s breathing easy, clients are thrilled, and the managers? They’re already booking me a damn drink at the bar 🍻😎. Long story short: I saved the project and proved they’d be lost without me!
