Why Davix never stores your videos

Most download tools either hoard files on a server "just in case" or route them through a permanent CDN cache. Davix does neither. Every job gets its own short-lived directory on disk, identified by an unguessable job id, and nothing else.

When you request a download, the file is retrieved once, streamed straight to your browser, and deleted the moment the transfer finishes. If your connection drops halfway through, the partial file is cleaned up by a background sweep within minutes rather than sitting around indefinitely.

That sweep is the important part: we don't rely on the happy path alone. A scheduled job walks the temporary storage directory every minute, checking each entry's age and job status against Redis. Anything past its time-to-live — whether because a download finished, failed, or was simply abandoned mid-analysis — is removed.

The practical effect is that Davix has nothing worth breaching. There is no video archive, no user library, no history to leak. Your download exists on our infrastructure for, at most, a few minutes.
