Saved state
Saved state allows you to save internal Flow state to your filesystem (.flow.saved_state filename is important):
💃 yarn flow save-state --root=. --out=.flow.saved_state
Asking server to create a saved-state file at `/project_root/.flow.saved_state`
Created saved-state file `/project_root/.flow.saved_state`
You also have to have .flow.saved_state_file_changes file with changed file in this format (absolute paths are fine as well):
src/packages/eslint-config-kiwicom/index.js
src/packages/eslint-config-kiwicom/ourRules.js
Now, stop the Flow server and start it again like this:
💃 yarn flow start --saved-state-fetcher=local --saved-state-no-fallback
You should be able to see that saved state is being used from logs (logs without saved state):

You can see that there is already some improvement. It's very convenient to combine it with --lazy mode:
💃 yarn flow start --saved-state-fetcher=local --saved-state-no-fallback --lazy

That's a huge improvement (from original cold start 17s to cold start 3s). Don't forget to refocus the lazy mode in case of Flow server already running:
💃 flow force-recheck --focus --lazy --input-file=.flow.saved_state_file_changes
