Appwrite SDKs now upload **Storage** file chunks **in parallel** where the host runtime supports overlapping HTTP requests. Chunking, concurrency limits, and ordering are handled **inside the client**; your **`createFile`** calls stay the same.

In our Node SDK benchmarks, a 1.28 GB upload dropped from 4 minutes 44 seconds to under 40 seconds, up to a **7.10x** improvement at the default concurrency of 8. Smaller files see proportionally smaller gains since they have fewer chunks to overlap.

Available on Appwrite Cloud today.
