NEXT.JS – Using aws-sdk to upload to DigitalOceans - dev mode work, prod isn't - next.js

Question

I'm using aws-sdk to upload images to DigitalOceans bucket. On localhost it works 100% but production seems like the function goes on without an error but the file does not upload to the bucket.
I cannot figure out what is going on and can't think of a way to debug this. tried aswell executing the POST request with Postman multipart/form-data + adding file to the body of the request and it is the same for localhost, working, and production is not.
my api endpoint:
import AWS from 'aws-sdk'
import formidable from "formidable"
import fs from 'fs'
const s3Client = new AWS.S3({
endpoint: process.env.DO_SPACES_URL,
region: 'fra1',
credentials: {
accessKeyId: process.env.DO_SPACES_KEY,
secretAccessKey: process.env.DO_SPACES_SECRET
}
})
export const config = {
api: {
bodyParser: false
}
}
export default async function uploadFile(req, res) {
const { method } = req
const form = formidable()
const now = new Date()
const fileGenericName = `${now.getTime()}`
const allowedFileTypes = ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'webp']
switch (method) {
case "POST":
try {
form.parse(req, async (err, fields, files) => {
const fileType = files.file?.originalFilename?.split('.').pop().toLowerCase()
if (!files.file) {
return res.status(400).json({
status: 400,
message: 'no files'
})
}
if (allowedFileTypes.indexOf(fileType) === -1) {
return res.status(400).json({
message: 'bad file type'
})
}
const fileName = `${fileGenericName}.${fileType}`
try {
s3Client.putObject({
Bucket: process.env.DO_SPACES_BUCKET,
Key: `${fileName}`,
Body: fs.createReadStream(files.file.filepath),
ACL: "public-read"
}, (err, data) => {
console.log(err)
console.log(data)
})
const url = `${process.env.FILE_URL}/${fileName}`
return res.status(200).json({ url })
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
throw new Error('Error Occured While Uploading File')
}
});
return res.status(200)
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
return res.status(500).end()
}
default:
return res.status(405).end('Method is not allowed')
}
}
