# Data Layers
Data layers determine how resources are stored and retrieved. Examples of data layers:
- **Postgres**: For storing resources in PostgreSQL (via `AshPostgres`)
- **ETS**: For in-memory storage (`Ash.DataLayer.Ets`)
- **Mnesia**: For distributed storage (`Ash.DataLayer.Mnesia`)
- **Embedded**: For resources embedded in other resources (`data_layer: :embedded`) (typically JSON under the hood)
- **Ash.DataLayer.Simple**: For resources that aren't persisted at all. Leave off the data layer, as this is the default.
Specify a data layer when defining a resource:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Post do
use Ash.Resource,
domain: MyApp.Blog,
data_layer: AshPostgres.DataLayer
postgres do
table "posts"
repo MyApp.Repo
end
# ... attributes, relationships, etc.
end
```
For embedded resources:
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Address do
use Ash.Resource,
data_layer: :embedded
attributes do
attribute :street, :string
attribute :city, :string
attribute :state, :string
attribute :zip, :string
end
end
```
Each data layer has its own configuration options and capabilities. Refer to the rules & documentation of the specific data layer package for more details.
