Original Request Description
I have a Next.js 14 app router project where file uploads work in local dev, but in production on Vercel the exact same flow fails in a weird way. The UI lets users pick a profile photo, I upload it with supabase-js from the client, then I save the returned path in Postgres. Locally it looks fine, but in production the request either hangs, returns a 400/403 from Storage, or uploads the file but the image URL later comes back broken.
A few constraints: I need to keep using Supabase Storage for now, I can’t move the upload to a separate backend service, and the solution has to work for regular users on mobile too. The files are small, usually 200 KB to 4 MB, mostly JPG and PNG. I’m using environment variables for the Supabase URL and anon key, and I already confirmed the bucket exists and is meant to be public.
What I want from a good answer is a ranked list of likely causes, the specific checks I should run in Vercel and Supabase, and a corrected upload pattern if my current client-side approach is the problem. Please include concrete code snippets or config changes for Next.js, Supabase policies/CORS if relevant, and a short explanation of how to tell whether the failure is coming from the browser, the app router, or Storage itself.
