datastore
Information holding system
A datastore is a system or repository for storing and retrieving data.
The term is broader than database, encompassing any persistent storage mechanism—file systems, cloud storage services, or specialized data structures.
In software development, datastore often refers to services that handle data without requiring traditional database architecture: The app saves user preferences to a local datastore.
