Thanks for highlighting these points, Ahmet!

You're spot on about orphaned objects—DB-first deletions leaving dangling cloud storage assets are an absolute silent killer for infrastructure costs. Setting a strict source of truth (e.g., DB as the authoritative registry) alongside an asynchronous reconciliation process is definitely the way to go.

Also, content hashing for deduplication has saved us tons of redundant reprocessing compute. Appreciate the feedback!
