This section is the map for the rest of the book. The five stages introduced in the 1.1 chapter overview (parse, analyze/rewrite, plan, portal, execute) are traced here through the actual code: which functions implement each stage, and in what order they get called. The mechanics of each of the five stages are unpacked in later chapters. Here, only the skeleton matters: how a backend starts up, ho
PostgreSQL Internals · Chapter 1 Query Processing Suppose a client sends SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1. The path that single line travels before coming back as a result row is longer than you might expect. Inside the PostgreSQL backend, that SQL goes through a five-stage pipeline. Backend entry and dispatch. The backend receives the message from the client and decides which processing path it s
We Rewrote Our Angular 18 App in React 20 and Increased Developer Velocity by 40% Last quarter, our engineering team made the bold call to rewrite our 3-year-old Angular 18 production application in React 20. After 6 months of development, we cut over to the new stack with zero downtime, and the results have exceeded our expectations: we’ve measured a 40% increase in developer velocity, alongsid
White labeling is more common than you might think. When developing software, you often need to deploy the same application for multiple clients, each requiring their own customization: unique color palettes, logos, or specific variants for a link. Without a proper strategy, you might be tempted to simply clone the existing repository and implement client-specific changes on demand. However, this
TL;DR: ng-prism lets you showcase Angular components by adding a single decorator to the component class itself. No story files, no parallel file tree, no framework mismatch. Just Angular. If you've ever maintained a Storybook setup for an Angular component library, you know the drill: for every component you write, you also write a .stories.ts file. Then you keep both in sync. Then so
