Currently, this project uses Ruby v2.7.6 with Sinatra inside a "fat" (~500MB IIRC) Docker base image for what is effectively

• a single get endpoint to serve the frontend
• a single post endpoint that performs a handful of syscalls around some tempfiles

Going forward, I see two options:

1. Updating Ruby (to >v3.1.x), Sinatra and using an alpine Ruby base image

2. Switching to hosting the frontend statically and porting the backend to a different technology (Go, Rust, Elixir, Crystal, Gleam, ...). Advantages that this would bring are:

• lower memory footprint in development & production
• (potentially) single binary deployment
• quicker development & deployment loop
• gaining the ability to serve requests concurrently
• (potentially) easier local setup

The JS part of the project never left the prototyping state and has quite some modernization and duplication to take care of

Once the other JS issues have been closed, I'd like to add this project to https://wavesurfer-js.org/projects/

Currently, the wavesurfer.js dependency is "vendored" from a CDN - potentially adding it in a "proper" build tool (e.g. via vite) could introduce treeshaking and reduce the overall bundle size in production

Need to perform a licence check of the currently used dependencies of this project, e.g. bootstrap and currently Ruby/Sinatra/FFMPEG and wavesurfer, and the license that is being used in the repo itself

The main JS dependency (with two plugins) has had 3 major releases (nothing breaking from a cursory glance at the migration guide) in the meantime, and should be updated
