--checkpoint-intervalreduces startup time on long-running servers by consolidating WAL snapshots into monthly checkpoint files. Without it, servers with default settings may load up to ~4,320 individual snapshots on startup.Changes
config-options.md— Addcheckpoint-intervalto the WAL section with description, default (disabled), env var (INFLUXDB3_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL), version tag (v3.8.2+), and example. Phrasing uses "reduce startup time" rather than "speed up server startup" (choppy repetition of "up").performance-tuning.md— Add "Startup optimization" section covering snapshot accumulation mechanics,--checkpoint-intervalvs--gen1-lookback-durationtrade-offs, and recommended intervals._index.md(release notes) — Add "Snapshot checkpointing for faster startup" entry under v3.8.2 Core features.Original prompt
