Learn databases from the bottom up by coding your own, in small steps, and with simple Go code (language agnostic).Atomicity & durability. A DB is more than files!Persist data with fsync.Crash recovery.KV store based on B-tree.Disk-based data structures.Space management with a free list.Relational DB on top of KV.Learn how tables and indexes are related to B-trees.SQL-like query language; parser & interpreter.Concurrent transactions with copy-on-write data structures.

Learn graph databases the hands-on way — no servers, no setup, no fluff.Hands-On LadybugDB Cypher takes you from your first MATCH to complex recursive queries, shortest-path algorithms, and real-world AI agent graphs — all running locally in under a minute. 27 chapters. One evolving project. Every Cypher concept you need. Start querying graphs today.

A high-performance data access layer must resonate with the underlying database system. Knowing the inner workings of a relational database and the data access frameworks in use can make the difference between a high-performance enterprise application and one that barely crawls.

Build AI agents that truly remember, reason, and act—entirely on user devices. Move beyond prompt engineering to create autonomous systems with graph-based memory using SQLite and LibSQL. Learn to implement hypergraphs, metagraphs, and vector search for privacy-first AI that scales to millions of entities. From personal knowledge graphs to production mobile apps, master the three pillars of agent autonomy: tools, memory, and reasoning. Real code, working examples, battle-tested in production. The future of AI is local, private, and in your hands.

Most organizations do not suffer from a lack of data. They suffer from late data.Mobile and no-code platforms have changed how quickly truth enters enterprise systems—but many experienced IT leaders still feel something important has shifted.This book explains what actually changed, what did not, and how to extend enterprise discipline safely into modern mobile workflows.

Build real-world software by coding a Redis server from scratch.Network programming. The next level of programming is programming for multiple machines. Think HTTP servers, RPCs, databases, distributed systems.Data structures. Redis is the best example of applying data structures to real-world problems. Why stop at theoretical, textbook-level knowledge when you can learn from production software?Low-level C. C was, is, and will be widely used for systems programming and infrastructure software. It’s a gateway to many low-level projects.From scratch. A quote from Richard Feynman: “What I cannot create, I do not understand”. You should test your learning with real-world projects!

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.

Libérez la puissance de DuckDB pour l’analytique géospatiale moderne. Ce guide pratique aide les professionnels du SIG à maîtriser une gestion efficace des données spatiales, en transformant d’énormes jeux de données réels en informations exploitables grâce au SQL, à Python et à l’extension spatiale de DuckDB. Une édition papier couleur est disponible sur Amazon.

Learn how to install, configure, and use the MonetDB analytical database on Ubuntu Linux. This practical guide walks through real examples and command-line workflows, helping you quickly understand how MonetDB works and how to use it effectively for analytical SQL workloads.

This series of test-driven small coding puzzles lets you code a database from scratch (no dependencies).We'll cover KV storage engines, LSM-Tree indexes, SQL, concurrent transactions, ACID, etc.

"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.

The software that's managing your data shouldn't be a mystery. MySQL is the most popular open source database and powers WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento and more. You don't have to be a professional database designer to understand and make use of its tools. MySQL Explained provides a clear and accessible step-by-step tutorial that will enable you to understand how your data is being stored and even design your own custom applications!

Master AI Agents from Architecture to ProductionBuild autonomous agent systems that actually work in production. This comprehensive guide takes you from understanding ReAct patterns to orchestrating multi-agent systems at scale. What You'll Master:✅ Agent architectures: When to use agents vs RAG vs fine-tuning✅ Reasoning patterns: ReAct, Chain-of-Thought, Plan-and-Execute✅ Multi-agent orchestration with proper coordination protocols✅ Production deployment with error handling, monitoring, cost optimization✅ Tool calling, memory systems, and context management Who This Is For: Software engineers building LLM applications, backend engineers adding agentic capabilities, senior engineers preparing for AI agent interviews at top companies.
