I've been looking for books or articles on Database Architecture and internals for a while now. I found this paper "Architecture of a Database System" [1] to be an excellent starting point, it's written by database veterans James Hamilton and Micheal Stonebraker and references other much deeper works. I've always liked Pat Shaughnessy's work, Ruby under a Microscope was a fantastic introduction to MRI 2.0. I really hope to see more works like these.
