Third party dependencies are very easy: you just have to intimately know how it is implemented in addition to knowing your own code and stack, and then you are golden! Nothing to learn, just focus on making your app, it’s all taken care of

Classic case of "focus on building your app, not infrastructure". Here's another multi-million dollar idea: put this cache directly inside your own video processing server and upload there.

Use managed language, it will handle memory stuff for you, you don’t have to care. But also read these 400 articles to understand our GC. If you are lucky, we will let you change 3 settings.

Right. That’s why all the software from, say, Microsoft works flawlessly and at peak efficiency.

Sounds interesting, but what are good examples of "Visualizer" part? Screenshots section [1] only has 6 (pretty primitive [2]) images out of about a 100 total, but maybe that is outdated? [1] https://www.dbvis.com/
