Not gonna lie to you. At some point, this project caused me physical pain. But I gained at least 3 years’ worth of XP.
But I’m dumb. If you’re smart, you can gain the same XP in two weeks.
What’s inside the book?
We’re building a working database storage engine from scratch. Including:
-
Storage layer
-
TLV encoding
-
Creating databases and tables
-
Insert/update/delete/select
-
Write-Ahead Log (WAL)
-
Data pages
-
B-Tree indexes
-
Buffer pools (page-level caches)
-
Hash-based full-text indexes
Everything is explained and built from scratch. In Golang. Which you don’t need to know.
