Caching Data Files for Optimal Performance

For documentation on older releases of Watchman (v0.31.x series), please visit the older docs website in our GitHub repository.

Leverage local data file caching to accelerate Watchman startups, reduce network dependency, and ensure reliable operation even with unstable remote sources. This feature is particularly valuable for large-scale deployments.

By setting INITIAL_DATA_DIRECTORY to a local directory Watchman will look for the following files.
