## 2026-07-08 - [Stack-Allocated Value Buffers for Single-Model Inserts]
**Learning:** Even single-row model-based inserts were allocating intermediate `[]assignment` slices. For a typical model with 5-10 fields, this added unnecessary heap pressure. By using a specialized `writeSingleModelSQL` path that employs stack-allocated buffers (`[32]any`) for values and column metadata, we eliminated these allocations for most models. This achieved a ~35% speedup and ~31% reduction in allocations for point inserts.
**Action:** For single-row operations, bypass generic slice-building paths by using fixed-size stack buffers for metadata and values. Use address-based checks (`&buf[0]`) to detect buffer saturation before falling back to heap allocations for unusually large models.

## 2026-07-15 - [Ubiquitous Query Builder Pooling]
**Learning:** Query builders (Select, Insert, Update, Delete) are extremely short-lived but frequently allocated. While internal array buffers (like ) reduced slice allocations, the builder structs themselves remained on the heap. By implementing for all builder types and updating the / entry points to use them, we reduced per-query allocations by 50-70%. Crucially, pooled objects must be fully zeroed () on release and their slices re-bound to internal buffers on acquisition to prevent state leakage and ensure thread safety.
**Action:** When an application has high-frequency, short-lived object allocation patterns, implement ubiquitous pooling at the entry point level. Always use a 'clear-on-release' and 'reinit-on-acquire' pattern for pooled structs containing slices or pointers.

## 2026-07-15 - [Ubiquitous Query Builder Pooling]
**Learning:** Query builders (Select, Insert, Update, Delete) are extremely short-lived but frequently allocated. While internal array buffers (like `colsBuf`) reduced slice allocations, the builder structs themselves remained on the heap. By implementing `sync.Pool` for all builder types and updating the `DB`/`Tx` entry points to use them, we reduced per-query allocations by 50-70%. Crucially, pooled objects must be fully zeroed (`*q = Query{}`) on release and their slices re-bound to internal buffers on acquisition to prevent state leakage and ensure thread safety.
**Action:** When an application has high-frequency, short-lived object allocation patterns, implement ubiquitous pooling at the entry point level. Always use a 'clear-on-release' and 'reinit-on-acquire' pattern for pooled structs containing slices or pointers.
