## What it is
A curated awesome-list of learning materials for understanding database internals, including papers, books, courses, talks, and blogs. It covers topics like query optimization, execution, transactions, storage, replication, and consensus.

## Use cases
- learn how database internals work
- find database systems courses like CMU 15-445
- read papers on query optimization and join ordering
- study B-trees and LSM-trees
- learn about transaction isolation levels and concurrency control
- find resources on replication, consistency, and consensus

## When to choose
- you want a curated starting point for self-studying database internals
- you need links to courses, papers, and books on database systems
- you are preparing for database engineering interviews or research

## When to avoid
- you need runnable database software rather than learning materials
- you want a structured course with assignments rather than a link collection

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: databases, tutorials, awesome-lists, education
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, database-internals, papers, courses, query-optimizer, storage-engines
