What is File based?

File-based technologies refer to systems and methods that rely on files as the primary means of storing and managing data. This contrasts with database-driven or cloud-based approaches. File-based systems are often simpler to implement initially, and involve storing data in various file formats (e.g., text files, CSV files, JSON files, etc.). They are commonly used for configuration files, log files, simple data storage, and data exchange between applications where a full database system is not required or is overkill.
