title: "Caching"
---

This page covers the `cache` option: what `Cache-Control` an object is served with, where to set it, and which value to pick.

```ts
await bucket.put("avatars/7.png", file, { contentType: "image/png", cache: "immutable" })
```

`Cache-Control` is written once, at upload, and stored with the object. The CDN and the browser honor it on every read. There is no per-request override; changing it means writing the object again.

---

## Which value to pick

| Object | Path | `cache` | How readers see a change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Unique path per upload (`uniquePath`) | new each time | `'immutable'` | the path is new, nothing to invalidate |
| Stable path that changes rarely | stable | `'immutable'` plus `versionedUrl` | the URL changes with the etag |
| Fixed URL you do not control, or a client that drops query strings | stable | `'revalidate'` | a 304 check on every read |
| Private or sensitive | any | `'no-store'`, or a short duration | the link expires; see [below](#no-store-and-signed-reads) |

---

## The `cache` option

| Value | Stored header |
| ----- | ------------- |
| `'immutable'` | `public, max-age=31536000, immutable` |
| `'revalidate'` | `public, max-age=0, must-revalidate` |
| `'no-store'` | `no-store` |
| a duration (`'15m'`, `3600`) | `public, max-age=<seconds>` |
| unset | `public, max-age=3600` |
| anything containing `=` or `,` | stored exactly as written |

```ts
cache: "1h" // public, max-age=3600
cache: 3600 // public, max-age=3600
cache: "15 min" // public, max-age=900
cache: "7d" // public, max-age=604800
```

A duration is converted to whole seconds, so `'1500ms'` stores `max-age=1`. The grammar is on [Types](/blob/reference/types#duration).

### The raw header

```ts
cache: "public, max-age=60, s-maxage=31536000"
cache: "max-age=0, stale-while-revalidate=86400"
```

Anything containing `=` or `,` is treated as a raw header and stored as written. Use this for `s-maxage`, `stale-while-revalidate`, `no-transform` and anything else the three keywords do not cover.

---

## `revalidate` versus a short max-age

| | `cache: 'revalidate'` | `cache: '60s'` |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Unchanged object | 304, no body | full object, once a minute |
| Object just overwritten | next read sees it | up to 60 s of the old bytes |

`'revalidate'` stores `public, max-age=0, must-revalidate`. The cached copy is checked with `If-None-Match` on every read, so an unchanged object costs a 304 with no body. A short max-age serves stale bytes until it expires, then re-downloads the whole object.

`'revalidate'` costs a round trip per read, but is never stale and never downloads the bytes twice.

---

## Where you can set it

Four places. The most specific one wins.

### On the bucket

```ts lib/blob.ts
import { Bucket } from "@upstash/blob"

export const bucket = Bucket.fromEnv({ cache: "immutable" })
```

The default for every object this bucket stores.

### On a put

```ts
await bucket.put("avatars/7.png", file, {
contentType: "image/png",
cache: "revalidate",
})
```

`updateJson` takes it too, for the object it rewrites. So do `copy` and `move`, for the destination. Without it the source's value carries over.

### On a signed upload URL

```ts
const upload = await bucket.signedUploadUrl("u/7/report.pdf", {
contentType: "application/pdf",
cache: "immutable",
})

await fetch(upload.url, { method: "PUT", headers: upload.headers, body })
```

Signed into the URL and handed back in `headers`, so the uploader has to send it verbatim.

### On a direct browser upload

```ts lib/uploads.ts
import { uniquePath, uploadHandler } from "@upstash/blob"

export const uploads = uploadHandler({
onBeforeUpload: ({ file }) => ({
path: uniquePath`uploads/${file.name}`,
cache: "immutable",
}),
})
```

Decided per upload on your server and signed into the presigned PUT. See [Upload handler](/blob/uploads/upload-handler#onbeforeupload).

---

## Private buckets

| `cache` | Public bucket | Private bucket |
| ------- | ------------- | -------------- |
| unset | `public, max-age=3600` | `private, max-age=3600` |
| `'1m'` | `public, max-age=60` | `private, max-age=60` |
| `'immutable'` | `public, max-age=31536000, immutable` | `private, max-age=31536000, immutable` |
| `'revalidate'` | `public, max-age=0, must-revalidate` | `private, max-age=0, must-revalidate` |
| `'no-store'` | `no-store` | `no-store` |

On a private bucket, `private` replaces `public`, so no shared cache keeps a copy of an object only a signed request may read. This follows the bucket's visibility in the console; nothing in the code declares it.

A raw header string is passed through as written, visibility included: `cache: 'public, max-age=60'` on a private bucket stores `public, max-age=60`.

---

## Immutable plus a versioned URL

```ts app/api/avatar/route.ts
const blob = await bucket.put(`avatars/${user.id}.png`, file, {
contentType: "image/png",
cache: "immutable",
})

await db.users.update(user.id, { avatar: blob.versionedUrl })
```

```tsx
<img src={user.avatar} />
```

`versionedUrl` is `url` with the etag on the query, so it changes whenever the content does. A stable path stored `immutable` and served through `versionedUrl` is cached for a year, and every overwrite produces a URL no cache has seen. The path never moves, so nothing has to be deleted.

`url` and `versionedUrl` are both `undefined` on a private bucket.

---

## `no-store` and signed reads

```ts
await bucket.put("private/report.pdf", body, {
contentType: "application/pdf",
cache: "no-store",
})

const { url, expiresAt } = await bucket.signedReadUrl("private/report.pdf")
```

These are two separate mechanisms. The link expires at `expiresAt`, but the stored `Cache-Control` outlives it: with a long max-age the reader's browser keeps the bytes after the link stops working. If a reader must not keep the bytes, store the object with `no-store`.

`no-store` drops the visibility scope entirely and stores `no-store` on public and private buckets alike.

See [signedReadUrl](/blob/bucket/reading#signedreadurl) for link lifetimes.

---

## What the upload route itself caches

An upload route's `GET` serves its constraints document with a 60 second `Cache-Control` of its own, unrelated to the objects the route stores. See [Constraints](/blob/uploads/constraints#in-the-browser).

title: "Connecting"
---

This page covers creating the `Bucket` client, the options it takes, and running it on platforms without `process.env`.

```ts lib/blob.ts
import { Bucket } from "@upstash/blob"

export const bucket = Bucket.fromEnv() // reads UPSTASH_BLOB_TOKEN
```

Create a bucket in the [Upstash Console](https://console.upstash.com) and put its token in your environment:

```bash .env
UPSTASH_BLOB_TOKEN=...
```

The token is a bearer secret. Anything holding it can read and write the whole bucket. Keep it server side, never in `NEXT_PUBLIC_`, `VITE_`, or any other variable your bundler inlines into client code.

---

## Options

```ts lib/blob.ts
import { Bucket } from "@upstash/blob"

export const bucket = new Bucket({
token: process.env.UPSTASH_BLOB_TOKEN!,
cache: "immutable",
enableTelemetry: false,
})
```

`Bucket.fromEnv()` is the same constructor with `token` read from `UPSTASH_BLOB_TOKEN`. It takes the same options minus the token, and a variable name when the token lives somewhere else:

```ts
Bucket.fromEnv({ cache: "immutable" })
Bucket.fromEnv("REPORTS_BUCKET_TOKEN", { cache: "immutable" })
```

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `token` | `string` | required | The bucket token. |
| `cache` | `CacheOption` | `'1h'` | The default `Cache-Control` for every object this client stores. A per-call `cache` overrides it. See [Caching](/blob/bucket/caching). |
| `enableTelemetry` | `boolean` | `true` | See [Telemetry](#telemetry). |

Whether the bucket is public or private is a console setting, not an option: the SDK learns it from the backend on the first request. See [Private buckets](/blob/bucket/reading#private-buckets).

Constructing a `Bucket` per request is fine. Credentials are cached per token, so two clients built from the same token share one.

---

## Cloudflare Workers

There is no `process.env` on Workers, so `Bucket.fromEnv()` throws. Pass the token from the request's `env`:

```ts src/index.ts
import { Bucket } from "@upstash/blob"

export default {
async fetch(request: Request, env: { UPSTASH_BLOB_TOKEN: string }) {
const bucket = new Bucket({ token: env.UPSTASH_BLOB_TOKEN })
await bucket.put("hits.txt", "1")
return new Response("ok")
},
}
```

An [upload handler](/blob/uploads/upload-handler#the-bucket) on Workers needs the same thing: build the bucket from `env` and pass it as `bucket:`.

---

## Telemetry

The SDK sends its version, runtime and platform as headers on credential requests to Upstash. Turn it off with `UPSTASH_DISABLE_TELEMETRY` in the environment (any value), or `enableTelemetry: false` on the `Bucket`.

---

## Using an S3 client

```ts
import { GetObjectCommand, S3Client } from "@aws-sdk/client-s3"
import { bucket } from "@/lib/blob"

const { endpoint, region, bucket: name, credentials } = bucket.s3()
const s3 = new S3Client({ endpoint, region, credentials })

await s3.send(
new GetObjectCommand({ Bucket: name, Key: "reports/q3.pdf", Range: "bytes=0-1023" }),
)
```

Buckets are backed by Cloudflare R2 and are S3-compatible. `bucket.s3()` returns a config for `@aws-sdk/client-s3`, for anything the SDK does not wrap: byte ranges, conditional GETs, delimiters and common prefixes, object tagging.

`endpoint` and `credentials` are async providers rather than values. Pass them through as they come, so the aws-sdk can pick up a fresh credential when the old one expires.

An error message that mentions R2 is talking about the storage layer.
