How deeply does Build Python Web Apps with Streamlit cover checkpointer?

Defines in-memory checkpointing and mentions database alternatives, but stops short of implementing durable database storage.

Checkpointer

As explained in Build Python Web Apps with Streamlit

A checkpointer is a component that saves snapshots of graph state during execution so that later invocations can resume or recall prior state.

A checkpointer saves graph state during execution so later invocations can resume a conversation instead of starting with a clean slate. section 10.3.1

Add memory to a LangGraph application in three practical steps:

Pass the same thread ID on later invocations so the graph recalls that conversation’s previous state. section 10.3.1

Remembering a follow-up message

A chatbot initially processes one message and response. Without a checkpointer, a follow-up creates an independent state; with MemorySaver and the same thread ID, the graph remembers earlier conversation details. section 10.3.1
