The book covers a wide range of topics related to database internals, including storage engines, indexing, query optimization, replication, and sharding. The author also covers the challenges and trade-offs involved in designing and implementing distributed data systems. In addition to providing a detailed explanation of the technical concepts involved in distributed data systems, the book also includes practical advice and best practices for designing and managing these systems. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the trade-offs between consistency, availability, and partition tolerance (CAP theorem) when designing distributed data systems. The book is designed for software developers, database administrators, and system architects who are interested in understanding the internals of distributed data systems. The author assumes a basic understanding of database concepts and programming but provides detailed explanations of the technical concepts involved in distributed data systems.
