Project Details

Database-Engine

Custom database engine project focused on understanding storage internals, query execution, and performance tradeoffs at implementation level.

Description

Database-Engine is an in-progress systems project to explore how databases work under the hood: page layouts, indexing, durability primitives, and execution strategy design.

Development Steps

1. 1.Define on-disk page format and in-memory buffering model.
2. 2.Implement fundamental structures for record storage and retrieval.
3. 3.Add indexing strategy and query execution primitives.
4. 4.Introduce consistency/durability safeguards and test harnesses.
5. 5.Benchmark and iterate on bottlenecks as features mature.
