This Skill addresses the critical challenge of data loss in Internet Computer (IC) canisters when they are upgraded. It ensures that essential application state is reliably preserved across deployments.
Use the stable-memory skill to add a user named 'Alice' to your canister's persistent storage.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To persist canister state across upgrades on the Internet Computer, you must store data in stable memory. This Skill provides patterns using Rust's StableBTreeMap and Motoko's persistent actors to ensure data survival.
Heap memory disappears during IC canister upgrades because the runtime discards transient heap data when replacing code. Stable memory is specifically designed to survive these updates and prevent data loss.
You can achieve canister data persistence in Rust by implementing StableBTreeMap and MemoryManager. This Skill provides implementation examples to safely store and retrieve state across canister upgrades.
Yes, this Skill supports persistent storage for both Motoko and Rust canisters. It offers implementation examples for Motoko's persistent actors and Rust's stable memory structures.
Data corruption or canister bricking during canister updates is typically caused by upgrade hook failures or improper state handling. This Skill provides best practices to avoid these pitfalls and ensure upgrade safety.
You need stable memory for your Internet Computer canister when managing user accounts, balances, or any persistent data that must remain available after a code update. It guarantees state persistence across deployments.
