Audit File Sizes Before Deployment: A DevOps Engineer's Quick-Check Tool
Artifact sizes matter in CI/CD — oversized files slow Docker builds, inflate S3 storage costs, and hit API gateway payload limits without warning. Deliteful's File Size Report tool gives DevOps engineers a fast, format-agnostic size audit for any batch of files, returning exact byte counts and human-readable equivalents in a single .txt output.
When managing build artifacts, configuration bundles, or exported reports, engineers routinely need to verify file sizes before pushing to storage, CDN, or deployment pipelines. A ZIP that exceeds a Lambda layer limit or a JSON payload over a gateway threshold can silently break a deployment. A quick size report before upload catches these issues in seconds rather than after a failed pipeline run.
Deliteful handles up to 50 files per batch across a wide range of formats including ZIP, JSON, PDF, CSV, and images. The report output uses base-1024 units consistent with Linux's du command and most cloud storage consoles. Source files are never modified — this is a read-only metadata operation.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the file size report output compatible with shell scripting or log ingestion?
- Yes. The output is a plain .txt file with tab-separated values: filename, byte count, and human-readable size. It can be parsed with awk, grep, or any standard text processing tool.
- Does the tool support ZIP and JSON files?
- Yes. ZIP and JSON are both supported input formats alongside PDF, CSV, Excel, DOCX, TXT, and common image formats.
- What is the maximum batch size?
- You can upload up to 50 files per batch with a combined total of up to 2 GB. Individual file limits vary by format: up to 500 MB for CSV, 300 MB for PDF, 200 MB for Excel, and 50 MB for ZIP, JSON, and other formats.
- Are files stored after the report is generated?
- Deliteful uses temporary cloud storage (Cloudflare R2) during processing. Files are not retained after your session ends.
