intermediateFile Upload
Why doesn't saving uploaded files to the application server's local disk work in a real production deployment?
With more than one instance, a file saved by whichever instance handled the upload request is invisible to every other instance, and local disk gets wiped on every container restart unless it's a persistent volume — production systems upload to shared object storage (S3 or similar) instead.
