Data Persistence

Enabled features and your app's keyset in the Admin Portal control what the PubNub platform stores. PubNub persists only the data you choose and bills for that storage.

Data replication

PubNub replicates data across points of presence (PoPs) for low retrieval latency. Metadata and File Sharing are stored in a single region.
