PostgreSQL Architecture Overview
Explore the internal architecture of PostgreSQL, including processes, memory structures, and storage components.
PostgreSQL's Inner Workings

The Big Picture: Core Parts
PostgreSQL's architecture splits into three areas: processes that run the work, memory structures for fast access, and storage that persists data to disk.
