tl;dr:“I remember when I first learned that you can write a server handling millions of clients running on just a single thread, my mind was simply blown away. I used Node.js while knowing it is single threaded, I used async / await in Python, and I used threads, but never asked myself "How is any of this possible?".

tl;dr:"I tried thinking which database I should choose for my next project, and came to the realization that I don't really know the differences of databases enough. I went to different database websites and saw mostly marketing and words I don't understand. This is when I decided to read the excellent books Database Internals by Alex Petrov and Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppmann. The books piqued my curiosity enough to write my own little database I called dbeel. This post is basically a short summary of these books, with a focus on the fundamental problems a database engineer thinks about in the shower."
