Hi All, Our production environment unfortunately reached 100% usage yesterday and it prevented our users from using the mobile application nor uploading of files. Upon logging a ticket with the Mendix support team, we were advised that our application is uploading files to the filesystem on the server instead of the S3 bucket, which has a bigger space compared to the filesystem. We then restarted the server which dropped the disk usage percentage by approximately 78% and we are now sitting at 12.8%. However, this is not a permanent fix because I do see an incline in the disk usage when users use the app. Is there a way, in the source code, to specify where the files should be uploaded to (S3 bucket instead of the filesystem) or a better way to upload files? We need a permanent solution to the disk usage problem because restarting the server whenever usage is 100% is not viable. It seems like the /tmp folder on the server gets full when files are being uploaded and gets cleared every time the server gets restarted.
