Original Request Description
I’m stuck on a weird production-only upload bug in a Next.js app and I could use a second set of eyes. Locally everything is fine, but on Vercel the file upload flow to Supabase Storage fails after the user selects a file and hits submit. The app is using Next.js 14 App Router, TypeScript, and @supabase/supabase-js v2. The upload path is: client picks an image or PDF, the browser calls my /api/upload route, and that route creates the storage request. In dev it returns the uploaded file path just fine. In production I’m seeing inconsistent failures: sometimes a 403 from Supabase, sometimes a timeout, and once in a while the file reaches storage but the database row never gets created.
What I need help with is not just “check your env vars” advice. Please help me narrow down the actual root cause(s), especially anything specific to Vercel runtime differences, Next.js route handler config, CORS/origin settings, signed URL vs direct upload behavior, or accidental use of the wrong Supabase key on the server. A good answer should give me a ranked list of likely causes, explain how to verify each one quickly, and suggest a safer production upload pattern if my current one is flawed. If you can, include a corrected example for the route handler and the client upload call, plus any Supabase Storage settings I should double-check.

Title: Next.js upload only fails in production with Supabase Storage
I posted a grounded tech help request about a Next.js 14 upload flow that works locally but breaks in production when sending files to Supabase Storage. The tone is slightly informal and specific, and I asked for ranked root-cause debugging, verification steps, and corrected upload code for both the route handler and client side.
