Cloudinary

Cloudinary stores user-uploaded media (avatars, verification docs, etc.).

Setup checklist​

  1. Create a Cloudinary account and project.
  2. Record the Cloud name, API key, and API secret.
  3. Define upload presets for client-side or signed uploads.
  4. Store credentials in the backend secret store.

Upload strategy​

  • Prefer signed uploads for sensitive assets.
  • Use folder conventions to separate users, tutors, and verification assets.
  • Enable automatic transformations if you need thumbnails or optimized formats.
