I have an SQLite database file that’s generated when my Node app is deployed and started, so it exists on DO but not the repo (i.e., it’s not tracked).
On subsequent deployments, will this database file persist because only repo files are written to the DO App? Or will it be erased because the entire directory is rewritten?
