How do PostGIS functions handle buffers and external storage?

No, most of these "higher order analysis" functions do not have any special handling for data sets that are larger than can fit in memory. If you run them on such data sets, you'll just OOM the ...

Wrong shortest path using pg routing

The two lookup points you pass into the (K)NN sub-queries can't be referenced in EPSG:3857 - their coordinate values seem to be in degree and are likely EPSG:4326! Assuming planet_osm_roads.way has ...

pgr_dijkstra is considering one-way streets as bidirectional

You are passing in the metric length ST_Length(geom::GEOGRAPHY) of each edge E as both cost & reverse_cost - rendering it equal to to the undirected counterpart. pgRouting realizes ordered graph ...
