Object storage (S3 or alternative) for the recorded sessions
PostgreSQL for metadata about the sessions stored in S3
Next.js API which inserts into DB + responds with a signed PUT url for S3 (allows client to upload directly to S3, saving Next.js costs)
Wrt. pricing, I think Vercel/Next.js would get us at least ~30 million/requests per month on the $20/month business plan. Seems like enough for a while. Object storage (S3) will be much more costly. DB should be pretty cheap as well.
I don't know if we should have any kind of authentication? I want to know the ~identity of the user submitting, for spam-prevention & cleaning purposes. But it seems like IP + google chrome identifier + captcha might take us a long way here?

The rough stack I'm thinking:
