What is persistent vs non persistent data?

Persistent data refers to information that is saved or stored in a permanent manner, allowing it to persist even after the application or system is closed or restarted. This data is typically stored in databases, files, or other long-term storage solutions.

Non-persistent data, on the other hand, is temporary and exists only during the current session or runtime of the application or system. Once the application is closed or the session ends, this data is lost and not retained for future use
