A cartoon guide to the wilds of data handling in React
summary
Compares three concrete systems and what each actually does: Flux introduces a unidirectional data flow (action creator → dispatcher → stores → views) to stop the Facebook notification bug and spawns ~100 implementations; Redux separates state from reducers into a single state tree and keeps immutable snapshots to enable hot module reloading and time‑travel debugging; Relay wires components to the cloud with local cache and declarative queries, splits/deferred queries, and optimistic updates so client and server stay in sync.
