Pro Week ‘25: Fireside in the Forum Question Submissions

My questions goe more into an engineering perspective. I’m running on Kubernetes and I was wondering if:

  • there are plans to offer options to decouple the database from the app itself in order to support a more modular architecture?
  • it is possible in the near future to also decouple certain CPU heavy tasks like transcoding into separate worker units (like pods in my case)

Both questions are around the idea to remove pressure from the main app and to have a more maintainable and dynamic architecture (of course both features would/should be optional).

Kudos to the plex team for the awesome work :rocket:
