[FHIR Road Map]: Implement Attachment resizing on uploads

[dubdabasoduba]

Issue Context?

• We currently, allow users to upload images for products on the Commodity Management module.
• These images are then converted to Binary resources which can then be served on the mobile app.
• We would like to add functionality to reduce the image sizes before converting them to Binary resources.

Issue Implementation details?

• Resize all attachments before converting them to Binary Resources
• Add a maximum attachment size for all the attachments

Issue Acceptance criteria?

• Attachment sizes should be reduced before converting them to Binary resources
• The maximum size should be enforced at all times

FHIR resources to be used?

No response

Relevant Information

• This documentation here shows how much the size can be reduced if we convert the images to .webp versions

@dubdabasoduba I think this is a good idea.
Q: will this reduce the size even when loading on the app but maintain clarity of the photos? Any performance impacts?

@AnnieMungai We will be trying to find a lossless way to reduce the image sizes. If this doesn't work then we will be a strategy that doesn't lose a lot of data
