The problem You need a place to drop files, but the back‑end isn’t ready. The solution – INeedStorages Zero sign‑up – just generate a 16‑character user ID and you’re ready. Instant public API – paste a file (or JSON payload) and get a live endpoint in seconds. Free tier – 500 MB storage, files auto‑expire after 7 days. Premium tiers – 50 GB for $6 / mo, 100 GB for $12 / mo, with 30‑day retention and unlimited storage for higher plans. How it works Access & manage – fetch a list of your files, delete or update metadata, all with the same x-user-id header. Automatic expiry – free‑tier files vanish after 7 days, premium files stay for 30 days (or forever with unlimited plans). Real‑world example Testing error states & latency Set any HTTP status code (100‑599). Stack & Architecture Interesting decisions Password‑less identity **– a 16‑character UUID stored in localStorage. This removes signup friction and eliminates any personally‑identifiable data. – the same header works for upload, list, delete, and download endpoints, simplifying client code. Rate limiting – Cloudflare + express-rate-limit reads the real client IP (CF-Connecting-IP) to avoid Docker‑bridge mis‑reports. Automatic expiry – a small background job checks expiresAt fields and purges files, keeping storage lean.
