Where is the IPython's database located in the filesystem where %store data is persisted?

The storemagic documentation says that:

Stores variables, aliases and macros in IPython’s database.

but it does not say where is this IPython's database located. Where is it?

It's usually at ${IPYTHONDIR}/profile_default/db

As indicated in these docs, you can find the IPYTHONDIR with:

import IPython

print(IPython.paths.get_ipython_dir()) # i.e /home/ec2-user/.ipython

then you can list all the files in that IPYTHONDIR with

find  /home/ec2-user/.ipython -type f
...
/home/ec2-user/.ipython/profile_default/db/autorestore/outputs
/home/ec2-user/.ipython/profile_default/db/autorestore/bucket
/home/ec2-user/.ipython/profile_default/db/autorestore/aos_host
...

In the above case, there were 3 variables stored outputs, bucket and aos_host that were the result of executing

%store outputs
%store bucket
%store aos_host
Stored 'outputs' (dict)
Stored 'bucket' (str)
Stored 'aos_host' (str)
