RisingWave primarily uses S3 as the main storage backend.
Local drives can be used for data persistence, but it is recommended only for testing purposes and not for production.
It is advisable to avoid using local drives in production environments.
The mention of local drives in the documentation may refer to using local MinIO for storage.
Consider removing the mention of local drives from the documentation as it is not recommended for production use.
