Using Uploadcare with a 20% discount: does it simplify file handling for growing web apps?
We’re working on a SaaS app that suddenly started getting way more user uploads than we expected. At first it was fine to handle files ourselves with some basic storage setup, but once images, PDFs, and random file sizes piled up, things got messy fast. Upload bugs, slow previews, edge cases everywhere. I’ve been looking at Uploadcare because it promises to handle uploads, processing, and delivery in one flow, and the discount makes it more appealing. But I’m wondering if it actually simplifies day-to-day dev work once the project starts scaling, or if it’s just another service to maintain.

I’ve used it on a growing eLearning platform, and honestly it reduced a lot of hidden pain points. Before that, we were constantly patching upload issues across browsers and devices. With Uploadcare, the upload widget alone saved us tons of frontend effort, and the URL-based image processing meant we didn’t need extra backend jobs. CDN delivery was just there without extra setup. When we noticed the Uploadcare deal, it made sense to commit longer-term since the pricing lined up better with our growth plans. It’s not just about saving money, but about removing boring infrastructure work.
