The article explores building a production-ready file download system with GoFrame, covering basic implementation, handling large files, resume support, security measures, and optimization for production.
GoFrame is chosen for its stream-based processing, middleware support, clean error handling, and progress tracking capabilities.
Security measures are emphasized, including validating file paths, checking permissions, limiting file types, and implementing robust validation functions.
Handling large files efficiently without memory issues is achieved through streaming implementations in chunks.
Resume support is discussed to handle failed downloads, especially for large files, by implementing range requests.
Real-world scenarios like handling different file types, browser compatibility, and download progress monitoring are addressed with practical examples.
Production tips include rate limiting, caching, monitoring metrics, implementing circuit breakers, and graceful shutdowns for robust file download services.
Advanced features like zip downloads on the fly, cloud storage integration, and download queue implementation are detailed for more complex requirements.
Comprehensive error handling patterns, specific use case examples like video streaming, large Excel file generation, and PDF generation are provided to handle various scenarios.
Common gotchas to avoid like memory leaks, security issues, and performance problems are highlighted to ensure a smooth file download experience.
