##### no_sync Write Option
|

|

InfluxDB provides a no_sync write option to allow faster response of write request by skipping the wait for WAL presistence. When `no_sync=true`, InfluxDB writes data to WAL but immediately acknowledges the write request without waiting for persistence.

|
||||
- Default behavior(`no_sync=false`): Ensures data is persisted before acknowledging writes. Thus, reducing the risk of data loss.
|
||||
- With `no_sync=true`: Improves write performance but increases the risk of data loss in case of crashes before WAL persistence.
