Uploadload

Uploadload is a neologism encountered in informal computing discourse. It is used to describe the combined action of uploading data to a remote system and then loading or ingesting that data into a target application, database, or service. There is no formal standard definition, and usage varies by context.

In practice, uploadload may refer to a two-step workflow in which data is first transferred (upload) and then processed or stored (load). Some usages emphasize overlapping the two steps to reduce latency, or describe streaming-like ingestion where data becomes available as it arrives.

Common domains of discussion include data pipelines, cloud storage services, content management systems, and analytics platforms. Because the term is informal, it appears mainly in blog posts, forum threads, or vendor marketing rather than technical specifications.

Related concepts include upload, load, download, data ingestion, and streaming ingestion.
