Currently, all media is stored in the github repository directly. This will lead to issues further down the line, especially with file size limits and repository size limits. Along with that, it just isn't best practice to store media files like this. Instead, I would like to store media files externally, on a separate service, and pull down media as needed.

Netlify offers a service called "Large Media" that integrates will to other netlify services, but is fairly basic in customization, and would require us to move away in the future.
