Hello,

FYI
I collected Web resources to learn PostgreSQL internals in the Developer FAQ page. I did this because I need to provide self-education materials for new developers. Specifically, I modified "How is the source code organized?", and added "What information is available to learn PostgreSQL internals?".

Developer FAQ
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Developer_FAQ#Development_Tools_and_Help

I borrowed most of the information from the following discussion.

Thanks, looks like quite useful information for the new people who
want to learn about PostgreSQL especially internals.

While we're talking wiki changes, some folks may be interested in the
recent stuff I added to the profiling with perf page
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Profiling_with_perf on using postgres's
predefined tracepoints, injecting userspace tracepoints, capturing variable
values at tracepoints, etc.

Wow, wonderful article. I didn't know the trace point feature of perf. This article should be bookmarked for many developers, especially support staff. I'll introduct this page to my colleagues.
