shiny session dies when run from server

I have a shiny app below that shows a file content from a server-side sqlite file I want to overwrite the sqlite every week on my shiny server from a csv upload and filter it through the App

• When I update the sqlite file from within the shiny ran in RStudio I get new content OK and am able to work with it and upload multiple new content as expected
• When I run the same app on the shiny server in my browser, I get disconnected from the server as soon as I click on the 'Upload' button after uploading the new csv with 'Browse' (which succeeds).

Can someone please explain this behaviour

I suspect something off in :

  observeEvent(input$Upload, {
    if(is.null(input$Browse))
    {
      return(NULL)
    }
    else
    {
      file <- input$Browse
      createDB(file$datapath, basename(file$name), dbfile)
      shinyalert(paste(basename(file$name), "database uploaded, please refresh the session", sep=" "), type = "success", timer=2000)
    }
  }) 

REM: it is not the shinyalert though
