A Cartoon Guide to the Wilds of Data Handling
summary
Presents three concrete patterns—Flux Redux Relay—and claims Flux solves Facebook’s notification bug with a unidirectional data flow; Redux separates a single state tree from reducers to enable hot module reloading and time travel debugging via immutability; Relay builds and caches GraphQL‑style queries, does optimistic updates and deferred fetching, and merges results into a local graph. A four‑part Code Cartoons walkthrough exists and the examples show how each approach is implemented and why it works.
