Feature: Use with folder partitioning

I wonder if I could use this static file middleware for my situation. I need to store file uploads in a folder called blobs and since I expect a lot of files they should not be stored in the same directory. Instead I want to partition the blobs directory with 3 subdirectories based on the files content hash:

blobs/hash{0,3}/hash{3,6}/hash{6,9}/hash.ext

requests the like /hash should then fetch the file from this partitioned directory. Also after creating the file I’d like to immediately update the sirv cache with this new file. Precompressing the file to .gz and brotli would be nice too.

Any ideas if that could be accomplished?

Right; Node is not the best solution for file-serving. Basically sirv only exists so that people who are trying to do everything inside Node.js can still have a decent option.

Personally I use sirv for development and running production-like servers locally.

Yeah, I really miss some nginx + node tutorials where they explain that serving static files with node is maybe not a good idea. Maybe I’ll write one myself when I am done.
