Disk IO Performance

According to this resourcing guide the 2nd to last bullet point suggests that Kong has to buffer every request / response to disk but makes no mention of provisioning disks appropriately.

  • Is it really necessary to do this?
  • Can this be disabled?
  • Does this apply if using DBless / ingress controller
  • Are there any tunable knobs to control behaviors
  • Does this technically make Kong i/o rather than CPU bound
