Hi @JosephRaafat,
DigitalOcean has a solution dedicated exactly to such needs. You can check that here:
There is even a form which you can fill to talk with an expert on the matter.
Additionally, I’ll urge you to check the Tools built for highly available streaming services section.
We do have resources on this topic which you can check here

If you’re planning on using our Spaces product you can consider the following information.
Spaces are designed for storing and serving moderate to large files. Files 20 MB to 200 MB in size will give the best performance for both writes and reads. Additionally, combining small files into one larger file will greatly reduce the overall number of requests to your Space compared to handling many small files individually.
How Do I Implement This?
When uploading files larger than 500 MB, you should use multi-part uploads.
We recommend combining files less than 1 MB together into a single, larger file. How you do this will be specific to your particular files and use case, but one example is concatenating daily log files into a monthly file.
Hope that this helps!
