I’m building a Laravel 12 folder organizer where users may upload large folders (many files / large sizes), and I categorize files by extension and generate a ZIP for download.
Current approach:
Process everything in one request
Loop through uploaded files once
Add files directly from PHP temp upload paths into a ZIP using ZipArchive::addFile()
For large folder uploads, what’s the best approach for performance and scalability?
Also, what would you do specifically to speed up processing for large uploads?
