A visual guide for understanding Modern Data Pipelines Testing Techniques

When your database outgrows simple optimizations, it's time to think bigger. Lift the Elephant goes beyond query tuning to reveal actionable strategies for scaling PostgreSQL, from partitioning to high-availability architectures. Built on lessons from scaling Hubstaff, this is your playbook for navigating the challenges of database growth.

Building a chat feature over your product docs? You need a vector database.Adding recommendations to your app? Vector database.Searching 100 million images by visual similarity? Definitely a vector database.Yet most engineers stumble into these projects unprepared. They don't understand the trade-offs between IVF, HNSW, and Product Quantization. They pick the wrong similarity metric. They scale the wrong way.This book is the missing manual. It covers:The mathematics of embeddings and why they workHow to choose the right algorithm for your latency and accuracy constraintsDeep dives into Pinecone, Milvus, Weaviate, Qdrant, and ChromaBuilding production RAG systems that actually workIndustry case studies from Spotify to JPMorgan Chase20+ ready-to-run recipes for common scenarios

Stop treating PostgreSQL like slightly broken MySQL and start using it the way it was designed.

Learn how real databases work by following this practical guide to building your own in a programming language of your choice.Build a language from scratch- Create an interpreter that can parse, type check and run SQL queries. Start with running simple queries and build up to more complex ones.Learn SQL (the fun way) - Gain a deeper understanding of SQL. Cover the order of execution of queries, how SQL uses ternary logic and the techniques that databases use to join and group data efficiently. Compare your implementation with databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite and DuckDB.Improve as a programmer- The perfect project to practice how to structure and refactor code as you grow the feature set of your database server. The 200+ included test cases provide a safety net for refactoring your code, giving you freedom to experiment. Learn computer science topics including creating a recursive descent parser, building a type checker and implementing iterators.
