The evolution of galaxies is governed by the so-called baryon cycle, i.e., the ensemble of complex phenomena ruling the interplay between gas, dust, and star formation on interstellar, circumgalactic, and intergalactic scales. Among the key drivers of this cycle, gas inflows and outflows are of crucial importance as they regulate the fuel available for star formation, but their observations and modeling are notoriously challenging. In this talk, I will present new observational constraints on galactic-scale outflows in nearby and primordial galaxies, exploiting data from Herschel, ALMA, and JWST. Additionally, I will discuss their relevance for refining state-of-the-art chemical evolution models, that are crucial for a thorough comprehension of the baryon cycle across cosmic time.
