About the Book
This series of test-driven small coding puzzles lets you code a database from scratch (no dependencies).
There are 45 puzzles, most puzzles are fewer than 50 lines of code, covering ALL major aspects of databases, including KV storage engines, LSM-Tree indexes, SQL, concurrent transactions, ACID, etc.
This sounds complicated, but software dev often evolves dealing with complexities, a skill not learned from tutorial-ish code or simple CRUD jobs.
This is the 1st Trial of Code project (2025). I plan to release more next year. Subscribe to get updates.

We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.
(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)
In fact, authors have earned over $15 million writing, publishing and selling on Leanpub.
