Seeking Advice on Using `Effect.tapError` for Error Handling

Hi everyone! Effect newbie here.
Although it requires extra effort for those not used to the functional style, I'm already in love with the mental model.
Also, big thanks to @whatplan and @schickling for your videos. Super clear explanations.

I'm trying to achieve the following tasks:
-

uploadFile

uploadFile

to S3
-

postFont

postFont

metadata to DB
-- In case this fails:

removeFile

removeFile

from S3 and return the

postFont

postFont

error.

Is it a good practice to achieve this using

Effect.tapError

Effect.tapError

.
Judging the return type, it seems I'm achieving what I want.
But in the docs,

tap

tap

seems to be used exclusively for logging.

This is my code:

const uploadedFont = yield* postFont(font).pipe(
  Effect.tapError(() => removeFile(filekey))
);

const uploadedFont = yield* postFont(font).pipe(
  Effect.tapError(() => removeFile(filekey))
);
