Failure Modes
Streaming uploads fail through connection drops, partial writes, and retry storms. Robust systems treat these as expected states, not exceptional edge cases.
Control Patterns
- Chunked upload with idempotent chunk IDs.
- Resume tokens for interrupted sessions.
- Server-side chunk integrity checks before commit.
- Bounded retry with jitter and backoff.
Validation and Commit
Run integrity and type checks after full reassembly, then commit atomically. Avoid exposing partial objects to downstream processors.
