How I Built a Proof-of-Concept Distributed File Upload System with Next.js 15, UploadThing, and Drizzle ORM

I was looking for a way to build a free file upload platform, and that's when I discovered UploadThing. However, the default storage limit is quite small just 2GB. That limitation inspired me to build a proof-of-concept called UploadThing RAID a distributed file upload system that allows me to bypass that limit by uploading chunks across multiple Accounts.

I build it using:

• ✅ Next.js 15 (App Router)
• ✅ UploadThing for file storage
• ✅ Drizzle ORM with SQLite
• ✅ Tailwind CSS + TypeScript
