About the Books
Build Your Own Redis with C/C++
Network programming, data structures, and low-level C.
Paperbacks
Build real-world software by coding from scratch. If you can build a Redis server, you can build almost any software beyond CRUD! Because it teaches you 3 fundamental skills:
- Network programming. The next level of programming is programming for multiple machines. Think HTTP servers, RPCs, databases, distributed systems.
- Data structures. Redis is the best example of applying data structures to real-world problems. Why stop at theoretical, textbook-level knowledge when you can learn from production software?
- Low-level C. C was, is, and will be widely used for systems programming and infrastructure software. It’s a gateway to many low-level projects.
Why from scratch? A quote from Richard Feynman: “What I cannot create, I do not understand”. You should test your learning with real-world projects!
Why a book? The real Redis project is a large code base built with lots of effort. The book distills the core concepts and guides you through small steps.
Build Your Own Database in Go From Scratch
From B+tree to SQL in 3000 lines
Learn databases from the bottom up by coding your own, in small steps, and with simple Go code (language agnostic).

- Persist data with
fsync
. - Crash recovery.
- KV store based on B-tree.
- Disk-based data structures.
- Space management with a free list.
