Persistence Mechanism

A Persistence Mechanism is a data storage mechanism that maintains persistent state across system sessions.

• AKA: State Persistence Mechanism, Data Persistence Mechanism, Storage Mechanism.
• Context:
  • It can typically store Persistent Data through persistence storage with persistence formats.
  • It can typically maintain Persistent State through persistence serialization with persistence deserialization.
  • It can typically ensure Persistent Durability through persistence transactions with persistence consistency.
  • It can typically enable Persistent Recovery through persistence backups with persistence restoration.
  • It can typically manage Persistent Lifecycle through persistence creation with persistence deletion.
  • ...
  • It can often optimize Persistent Performance through persistence caching with persistence indexing.
  • It can often secure Persistent Access through persistence encryption with persistence authentication.
  • It can often version Persistent Changes through persistence tracking with persistence history.
  • It can often replicate Persistent Data through persistence synchronization with persistence distribution.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Persistence Mechanism to being a Complex Persistence Mechanism, depending on its persistence sophistication.
  • It can range from being a File-Based Persistence Mechanism to being a Database Persistence Mechanism, depending on its persistence storage type.
  • It can range from being a Local Persistence Mechanism to being a Distributed Persistence Mechanism, depending on its persistence architecture.
  • It can range from being a Volatile Persistence Mechanism to being a Durable Persistence Mechanism, depending on its persistence reliability.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Persistence Storage Systems for persistence infrastructure.
  • It can connect to Persistence Management Tools for persistence administration.
  • It can interface with Persistence APIs for persistence access.
  • It can synchronize with Persistence Services for persistence replication.
  • It can communicate with Persistence Frameworks for persistence abstraction.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • File System Persistence Mechanisms, such as:
    • JSON File Persistence Mechanism for persistence configuration.
    • XML File Persistence Mechanism for persistence structured data.
    • Binary File Persistence Mechanism for persistence serialized objects.
  • Database Persistence Mechanisms, such as:
    • Relational Database Persistence Mechanism for persistence SQL data.
    • NoSQL Database Persistence Mechanism for persistence document store.
    • Key-Value Store Persistence Mechanism for persistence cache data.
  • Workflow Persistence Mechanisms, such as:
    • Development Workflow Persistence Mechanism for persistence development state.
    • Session State Persistence Mechanism for persistence user session.
    • Application State Persistence Mechanism for persistence application data.
  • Specialized Persistence Mechanisms, such as:
    • Object Persistence Mechanism for persistence object graphs.
    • Message Queue Persistence Mechanism for persistence message delivery.
    • Event Store Persistence Mechanism for persistence event sourcing.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • In-Memory Storage, which loses data without persistence mechanism.
  • Temporary Cache, which stores data without persistence durability.
  • Volatile Buffer, which holds data without persistence guarantee.
