About a year ago, 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.
