File uploads for full-stack TypeScript applications
UploadThing is a file upload solution purpose-built for full-stack TypeScript apps. Define upload routes with TypeScript — including file type restrictions, size limits, and middleware for auth — and get type-safe client components that handle the upload UI. Files are stored on UploadThing's CDN. Designed for Next.js but works with any framework. No S3 configuration required.

TypeScript-first auth library with plugins and self-hosting.
Trigger.dev is an open-source platform for creating and running background jobs, scheduled tasks, and event-driven workflows in TypeScript. It runs alongside your existing codebase with zero infrastructure — jobs run as durable functions with automatic retries, real-time observability, and fan-out support. Designed for long-running tasks in serverless environments.
Define an upload router on the server with `createUploadthing()` — each route specifies allowed file types, max size, and a middleware function (great for auth). Use `<UploadButton>` or `<UploadDropzone>` from @uploadthing/react for the client UI. The `onUploadComplete` callback on the server receives the final URL. Use `utapi` for server-side operations like deleting files.
Authentication and user management for modern web and mobile apps.
