Answer 1

You shouldn't save images directly to the database, it's bad for performance and will eat up a lot of space. Instead, save it to a filesystem or cloud storage (S3, Azure Blob Storage) and store a reference/url to the image inside the profile.

You can then leverage something like a CDN to serve up the picture, and save a great deal on bandwidth.
