When it comes to choosing, using, and maintaining a database, understanding its internals is essential. But with so many distributed databases and tools available today, it’s often difficult to understand what each one offers and how they differ. With this practical guide, Alex Petrov guides developers through the concepts behind modern database and storage engine

One of the best tech books I've read in the last 12 months.
It consists of 2 parts: DB internals & DB distribution internals.
The 1st part is pure gold - one can learn about B*-trees, LSM-trees, differences between locks and latches, memory VS disk optimizations, rebalancing, concurrency models for transactions and much, much more. I can't recall any single book that covers as much deep-level knowledge on these topics.
The 2nd part is less unique - there are other good resources on distributed ...more

I liked this one a lot.
It complements nicely "Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems" by Martin Kleppmann.
While Kleppmanns' book provides pretty solid overview of data processing landscape, this book goes deeper into implementation details, data structures and algorithms.
It's a bit more dry and more technical, but still it's a relatively easy read.

Great overview of modern databases.
Very nice overview of databases' state of the art. A lot of references to literature and source code. Includes multitude of distributed systems' algorithms.
