I found a young blog that has some potential. There are two articles so far:

- Frameworks for understanding databases
- Sorted string tables (SST) from first principles

If you've read "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" by Martin Kleppmann and "Database Internals" by Alex Petrov, you may find these articles repeating information from those books. However, unless you actively work on building databases, you may easily forget this information.

So, such articles serve as a great reminder. I enjoy getting back to such "low level" details from time to time. These details help one to better understand the tradeoffs of the end solution, in my opinion.
