Looks like a start. Keep it up, keep learning. Definitely check out https://www.youtube.com/c/CMUDatabaseGroup
Great lectures on relational databases and more.

#72Other databases written in Go: - TiDB by PingCAP - Vitess by PlanetScale Both are basically only the SQL part as TiDB uses TiKV (written in Rust) and Vitess uses MySQL. For those who want to implement a database in Go but without having to implement a network protocol there is go-mysql, which allows you to do this: https://github.com/go-mysql-org/go-mysql/blob/master/cmd/go-... As demonstration I created a networked…
Vitess came from YouTube
Didn't the Vitess team found planetscale?

#73Cool! You watched CMU's intro to Database sytems, right? It's really good and thorough. It will save you of some common pitfalls and can help you navigate the trade-offs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otE2WvX3XdQ&list=PLSE8ODhjZX...
I really have liked the current Optimizer series. So much amazing info.
I hope some company that heavily relies on Postgres sponsors a project to replace the optimizer with a more modern implementation. I feel like for any large applications with olap style queries (even if on the OLTP database) will benefit incredibly from that work. SQL Servers optimizer was light-years ahead of Postgres when I worked with it last over a decade ago.

Yes! The founders of PlanetScale were the co-creators of Vitess at YouTube, where it was built to handle MySQL scalability. PlanetScale builds on Vitess but offers a managed, developer-friendly experience.

I also recommend "Database Internals" to people. An invaluable book, the logical next read after "Designing Data-Intensive Applications".
It's the best and most approachable resource on distributed systems and database consistency / performance tradeoffs I have found.

Sadly, most of those corporations would rather spend millions in proprietary solutions than give back 100k to the community. I've seen it first hand many times. They only give money if they absolutely have to.

#77If folks would like to see more examples of databases built to teach oneself, they get shared on the /r/databasedevelopment subreddit not infrequently. Some recent ones: https://www.reddit.com/r/databasedevelopment/comments/1hyig8... https://www.reddit.com/r/databasedevelopment/comments/1ha5cc... https://www.reddit.com/r/databasedevelopment/comments/1dqgms... https://www.reddit.com/r/databasedevelopment/comments/1ix5…
Wow, what great resources. Thanks for sharing bud :)
Re: Show HN: A Database Written in Golang
#78Cool! btw, README says Go 1.17+ is required, but go.mod says 1.23+.
You should trust that the readme is up to date
Re: Show HN: A Database Written in Golang
#79Maybe a good place to ask: good sdks or libraries for reading parquet?
