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.
