📊 Chunked Upload Thresholds
When to Use Chunked Uploads
| File Size | Strategy | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| < 50MB | Single upload | Network can handle reliably |
| 50-100MB | Consider chunking | Depends on audience (mobile vs enterprise) |
| > 100MB | Always chunk | Failure rate jumps significantly |
Chunking Sweet Spots
- Enterprise users: 500MB threshold (better networks)
- Mobile-first: 50MB threshold (data limitations)
- Global audience: 100MB threshold (varied network quality)
Why 100MB?
- Upload failure rate: Jumps from ~1% to ~15% above 100MB
- Browser timeouts: Default 30-60 seconds for large requests
- User experience: Failed 500MB upload = 20 minutes wasted
- Resume capability: Chunks allow partial retry vs full restart
