Local File Context Stores Load

General

Hello, I have a question regarding Local File Context Stores. When are the values loaded into memory? From what I understand the values are stored in memory and saved to file every 30s.

When nodered starts is Local File Context Stores loaded before the flows start handling messages? Or are they immediately accessible when the flows start?

Thank you

The stores are initialised as part of the runtime startup before the flows are started. So to answer you question directly, the files are read into memory before the flows start.
