Nginx always buffers the entire body of requests before calling the
upstream application. If the body exceeds client_body_buffer_size
Nginx will store it in a tempfile.

The upload module works a little differently. It allows you to
configure specific upload endpoints that Nginx will preprocess. Rather
than forwarding the entire request body to the upstream application,
Nginx will parse the multipart/form-data encoded files, store them in
tempfiles, and forward only the paths of the tempfiles to the upstream
application.
