It's a bit confusing that the data_path is currently optional: we automatically save data in a temporary directory if not provided. While this behaviour is fine/expected for tests, it is a bit surprising for a production app.

I believe we should probably switch the behaviour: make it always mandatory and allow tests to save to a temporary directory.

Regardless of what we decide, we should document that this is mandatory for apps intended to be in production, in our docs.
