Build Your Own Database From Scratch

Persistence, Indexing, Concurrency

About the Book

Databases are not black boxes. Understand them by building your own in small steps and simple Golang code.

A step-by-step walkthrough of a minimal persistent database implementation.

  1. Start with a B+tree, the data structure for querying and manipulating the data.
  2. Make it durable, that’s what makes a DB different from a file.
  3. Relational DB with concurrent transactions on top of the copy-on-write B+tree KV.
  4. A SQL-like query language, the finishing touch.

Paperback.
