You can have DeepWiki literally scan the source code and tell you:
> 2. Delayed Sync Mode (Default)
> In the default mode, writes are batched and marked with needSync = true for later synchronization filestore.go:7093-7097 . The actual sync happens during the next syncBlocks() execution.
However, if you read DeepWiki's conclusion, it is far more optimistic than what Aphyr uncovered in real-world testing.
> Durability Guarantees
> Even with delayed fsyncs, NATS provides protection against data loss through:
> 1. Write-Ahead Logging: Messages are written to log files before being acknowledged
> 2. Periodic Sync: The sync timer ensures data is eventually flushed to disk
> 3. State Snapshots: Full state is periodically written to index.db files filestore.go:9834-9850
> 4. Error Handling: If sync operations fail, NATS attempts to rebuild state from existing data filestore.go:7066-7072"

Well, its an LLM ... of course its going to be optimistic. ;-)
"You are entirely correct!"
and your point is ...?
I don't think they were making a point. Someone suggested using an LLM for this, someone then responded by using an LLM for it.
What you draw from that seems entirely up to you. They don't seem to be making any claims or implying anything by doing so, just showing the result.
Exactly.
You can DIY without aphyr.
But this example of DIY led to incorrect conclusions about data integrity.
