designsystemet Find a storage for binary files

We need a place to store images and videos that are being used in the storefront.

Git is not the best place, since it can not diff binary files. It will upload the entire file and store it forever.

We should find another place to store our binary files.

Some alternatives that should be considered:

Vercel Blob - https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob Azure Blob Storage - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/storage/blobs Amazon S3 Cloud Object Storage - https://aws.amazon.com/s3/ DigtialOcean Spaces - https://try.digitalocean.com/cloud-storage

I believe Azure or Vercel is the most relevant alternative for us. :)

We have decided that since we are open source, we will not use a CMS. This is to make content editable by contributors. The same would apply to files such as images and videos. I think we should look at git LFS: #3663
