This is a very good book! Recently, I am very happy with a number of more foundational data books from O’Reilly: Designing Data-Intensive Applications https://dataintensive.net/ https://dataintensive.net/ Streaming Systems http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920073994.do http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920073994.do and this one.

Both of those are fantastic, data intensive in particular I think is the best book I have ever read from O'Reilly. Glad to hear this one is as good.

If you wanted to build your own database (to learn how), is Database Internals the better book, or DDIA?

  I'm currently writing a book for PragProg called Building Distributed Services with Go (though it mostly applies to other languages too) that's walks you through building a distributed database from scratch.

    Awesome. Just signed up. Any ideas on what the pricing will be like?
    - travisjeffery 7y ago
      Not sure, haven't gotten to that yet. Just from looking at the prices of other PragProg books somewhere around $21.95-24.95.

        Is it still worth (materialistically) writing a book considering (see PRICING section) http://fabiensanglard.net/gebbdoom/ http://fabiensanglard.net/gebbdoom/ ?

        I'm not doing it for the money. Writing a worthwhile book is about the least efficient way to make money.
        zerr 7y ago
        Not sure about how least efficient though, indirectly it will help a lot I believe.

    Looking forward to it. Do you have any idea when this might become a Beta book on PragProg? Cheers.
    - travisjeffery 7y ago
      Awesome. Hopefully within a month or two.
  - zerr 7y ago
    Do you have an experience or learning along writing? (also a legit/common way)
    - travisjeffery 7y ago
      Yeah---each chapter begins with background on the chapter's topic, some theory, covers how and where you'd use what's we're talking about in the chapter and then we use it to build a part of the project we're building throughout the book. For example, in the consensus chapter we talk about what problems it solves and how you can use it in your projects,and then we implement Raft in the service for leader election and replication.

  This one, it covers all the aspects deeper. The next book, if you want to go deeper, can be an upcoming 4th edition of Principles of Distributed Database Systems https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030262525 https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030262525
