Local
Supermetal can stage your data in a local filesystem directory before writing it into your target database.
This guide walks you through configuring a local filesystem directory as a Supermetal buffer.
BYOC
Local Buffer is automatically managed by Supermetal Control Plane.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have a local filesystem directory with:
- Read and write permissions.
 - Sufficient disk space to store the data.
 
Setup
Specify the local directory path in Supermetal Console while creating the connector, if the directory does not exist Supermetal will create it.
If running on a cloud environment, ensure that the filesystem directory is backed by persistent storage (e.g., EBS, GCP Persistent Disk, Azure Disk) to avoid data loss.
