Hi, and welcome to the forum!

Resgate has no built in support for binary files, and NATS it is not optimal for large (file-sized) messages. That said, there are still some options:

  • Base64 (or similar) encoded data in a call requests. It will increase the transfer size with 4/3 of the original, but might be an easy option.
  • Separate HTTP service for file upload. While the single endpoint provided by Resgate might be nice, a separate service that handles files might be an alternative.

Best regards,
Samuel
