# In-memory storage configuration for Vault backend storage
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
storage "inmem" {}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## `inmem` parameters
|
||
|
||
The In-Memory storage backend has no configuration parameters.
|
||
|
||
## `inmem` examples
|
||
|
||
This example shows activating the In-Memory storage backend.
|
||
|
||
```hcl
|
||
storage "inmem" {}
|
||
```
