Mosaic can operate in 3 different modes

• active
• snapshot-file
• snapshot-s3

In active mode, content updates in real-time.

active mode content is pulled at configured intervals in real-time, as defined by mosaic.config.mjs.

Read the active configuration docs.

Consider a snapshot as a directory of static content previously pulled from your content sources, which does not update itself.

In a snapshot mode, the snapshot does update itself.

In snapshot-file mode, immutable snapshots of content are loaded at startup from the local file-system.

Read the snapshot-file configuration docs.

In snapshot-s3 mode, snapshots of content are loaded at startup from a remote S3 bucket.
