# In-Memory Storage Backend
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The In-Memory storage backend is used to persist Vault's data entirely in-memory
|
|||
|
|
on the same machine in which Vault is running. This is useful for development
|
|||
|
|
and experimentation, but use of this backend is **highly discouraged in
|
|||
|
|
production**. All data is lost when Vault or the machine on which it is running
|
|||
|
|
is restarted.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **No High Availability** – the In-Memory backend does not support high
|
|||
|
|
availability.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Not Production Recommended** – the In-Memory backend is not recommended for
|
|||
|
|
production installations as data does not persist beyond restarts.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **HashiCorp Supported** – the In-Memory backend is officially supported by
|
|||
|
|
HashiCorp.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
```hcl
|
|||
|
|
backend "inmem" {}
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## `inmem` Parameters
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The In-Memory storage backend has no configuration parameters.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## `inmem` Examples
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This example shows activating the In-Memory storage backend.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
backend "inmem" {}
|
|||
|
