In this chapter, we&rsquo;ll tackle two essential components for many modern web applications: securely handling file uploads and efficiently serving static assets. From user profile pictures to document attachments, robust and secure file management is a non-negotiable feature for production-ready systems.</p> <p>We&rsquo;ll build upon the authentication and authorization mechanisms established in previous chapters, ensuring that only authorized users can upload files. We&rsquo;ll leverage <code>fastify-multer</code> (a Fastify plugin for <code>multer</code>) for handling multipart/form-data, focusing on crucial aspects like file type validation, size limits, and secure storage practices. Additionally, we&rsquo;ll configure our Fastify server to serve static content, such as public assets (CSS, JavaScript, images) and the files uploaded by users, all while adhering to security best practices.</p>
