Hi Gautam 👋

You mentioned your data gets deleted randomly. Is it possible that the Docker config file doesn’t have data persistence set up?  
(See this page [Persistence | Weaviate - vector database](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/configuration/persistence#docker-compose))

Thanks,  
JP

I suspect that you have somewhere in your code a line that deletes all schema:

```auto
client.schema.delete_all()

```

It is best to remove this, or comment out.

We used this for some example projects, where we wanted to reset the database before each run. However, it is easy to miss that.

> Note, we are trying not to include that line anymore in our examples.
