Buffer

When the data or logs are ready to be routed to some destination, by default they are buffered in memory.

Note that buffered data is not longer a raw text, instead it's in Fluent Bit internal binary representation.

Optionally Fluent Bit offers a buffering mechanism in the file system that acts as a backup system to avoid data loss in case of system failures.
