The Power of GraphQL: 

• GraphQL's flexible nature extends to file uploads, allowing clients to send data in a structured and efficient manner. 

Best Practices for File Uploads: 

• Use Multipart Form Data: Utilize multipart form data for uploading files, as it supports binary data transmission. 
• Define a Mutation: Create a specific mutation in your GraphQL schema for handling file uploads, keeping your API organized and intuitive. 
• Implement Data Validation: Validate uploaded files for size, format, and content type to prevent potential security vulnerabilities. 
• Leverage Storage Solutions: Choose an appropriate storage solution for your uploaded files, such as cloud storage or a local server. 
• Optimize Performance: Implement asynchronous processing to prevent blocking the server during file uploads. 

Handling Uploaded Files: 

• Resolvers and Middleware: Define resolvers that handle the uploaded files, and use middleware to process and store them as needed. 
• File Metadata: Store relevant metadata (e.g., filename, content type) along with the file for future reference. 

Managing Large Files: 

• Streaming: Consider streaming large files to minimize memory consumption and optimize performance. 
• Chunking: Implement file chunking to upload large files in smaller, manageable parts.
