Database Systems
Core concepts, architecture, and agentic applications of database systems.
Database Systems
Databases form the foundational persistence layer of nearly every software application. Understanding how they manage state, ensure data integrity, and scale under load is critical for building resilient systems.
Core Modules
Overview
High-level introduction to database types (Relational vs. NoSQL) and architectures.
Foundations
The theoretical bedrock, including the CAP theorem, ACID properties, and indexing mechanics.
Schema Design
Practical data modeling, normalization, and defining relationships using Prisma.
Reliability
Strategies for data durability, backups, replication, and handling failures gracefully.
Performance
Query optimization, caching strategies, and connection pooling.
Agentic Applications
Forward-looking patterns for integrating AI workflows securely with persistence layers.
Labs
Interactive, code-driven sandbox examples demonstrating specific design patterns.
