Use Mebibytes As Universal Base Storage Unit

[ericwang401]

Is there an existing feature request for this?

• I have searched the existing issues before opening this feature request.

Describe the feature you would like to see.

Currently, Convoy stores storage units as mebibytes in the database (because of the max integer limit with MySQL's integer datatype) and converts it back to bytes when interacting with the value. This conversion can cause a little confusion and has a little bit of the mental overhead.

One such example is the frontend where users input mebibytes instead of bytes–inputting bytes is ridiculous given the large quantity of storage and memory nowadays. The developer has to remember to convert between the two values, and it's absolutely annoying and can lead to bugs.

Since absolutely no one uses bytes, mebibytes should be used throughout all the code.

Describe the solution you'd like.

Remove the byte to mebibyte and vice versa conversion.
