At Crunchy we talk a lot about memory, shared buffers, and cache hit ratios. Even our new playground tutorials can help users learn about memory usage. The gist of many of those conversations is that you want to have most of your frequently accessed data in the memory pool closest to the database, the shared buffer cache.

There's a lot more to the data flow of an application using Postgres than that. There could be application-level poolers and Redis caches in front of the database. Even on the database server, data exists at multiple layers, including the kernel and various on-disk caches. So for those of you that like to know the whole story, this post pulls together the full data flow for Postgres reads and writes, stem-to-stern.

One aspect of Haskell that many new users find difficult to get a handle on is operators. Unlike many other languages, Haskell gives a lot of flexibility to developers to define custom operators. This can lead to shorter, more elegant code in many cases.

Grids help designers create cohesive layouts, allowing end users to easily scan and use interfaces. A good grid adapts to various screen sizes and orientations, ensuring consistency across platforms.
