In write-data and/or the data-durability reference, list the steps for write persistence and describe the points at which options have an affect, and their tradeoffs.

## How data flows through InfluxDB 3

1. **Incoming writes**: The system validates incoming data and stores it in the write buffer (in memory).
2. **WAL persistence**: Every second (default), the system flushes the write buffer to the Write-Ahead Log (WAL) on the object store.  
3. **Query availability**: After WAL persistence completes, data moves to the queryable buffer where it becomes available for queries.
4. **Parquet storage**: Every ten minutes (default), the system persists data from the queryable buffer to the object store in Parquet format.
