Stop writing code that only works on your laptop.Your O(n²) sorting algorithm runs fine on an i9 processor. But on a Cortex-M4 with 2KB of RAM? It crashes the stack.AlgoEmbedded is the first textbook that stops teaching "Computer Science" and starts teaching Embedded Engineering. Learn how to adapt standard algorithms for the constraints of the real world.

"It’s 3 AM, your database just hit 500 connections, and everything has ground to a halt. Do you know why?"Most database outages aren't mysterious—they are architectural. Stop treating PostgreSQL as a black box and start understanding the mechanical "why" behind the engine. PostgreSQL Internals Mastery: Volume I is a modular deep dive designed for senior engineers who need to bridge the gap between writing SQL and architecting high-performance systems. From the process-per-connection model to the groundbreaking Asynchronous I/O (AIO) features of PostgreSQL 18, learn the internals that separate database architects from administrators. Don't just tune knobs; understand the machine.
