    10  # Directory Backends
    11  
    12  The ["directory"](/docs/concepts/directory.html) is the name for the layer in
    13  Otto that stores the state of all infrastructures, applications, deploys,
    14  builds, etc.
    15  
    16  Please read the [directory concepts](/docs/concepts/directory.html) page
    17  for more information prior to reading about the various backends.
    18  
    19  By default, Otto uses a local directory backend that stores data at
    20  `~/.otto.d/directory/otto.db`. This is not well suited for sharing data
    21  in a team and is not currently configurable.
    22  
    23  For Otto 0.1, we focused on the single developer experience. In upcoming
    24  releases, we'll be focusing more on teamwork. This will involve adding more
    25  directory backends and making them more configurable.
