The challenge
A large catalogue needs careful data handling, strong SEO controls, and images that load quickly on every device.
Approach
A Node.js and Express backend serves the admin tools, with Supabase as the database. Images go through a Sharp pipeline and are uploaded to Cloudinary, which produces WebP files at several breakpoints for responsive srcset delivery.
Solution
- TV management covers seasons and episodes, with cast linked through Supabase joins.
- Movie management is in place, with cast handling fixed for key-coercion bugs.
- SEO management is a dedicated page wired to REST endpoints that support soft delete, restore and permanent delete.
- A data fix: a Supabase row limit that was cutting off the actors table was traced to the PostgREST Max Rows setting and corrected.
