Database Internals - A Deep Dive into How Distributed Data Systems Work

In the rapidly evolving landscape of data management, understanding the inner workings of distributed data systems has become essential for engineers and architects alike. This book provides a comprehensive exploration into the architecture, design principles, and operational mechanisms behind modern databases, focusing especially on distributed environments. By dissecting core concepts and practical implementations, it equips readers with the knowledge to navigate and optimize complex data infrastructures.

• Fundamental components of distributed databases: storage engines, replication, partitioning, and consensus algorithms.
• Trade-offs in distributed systems: consistency, availability, and partition tolerance (CAP theorem).
• Replication techniques: synchronous vs asynchronous replication...
