After exploring the “Build your Own Database in Go” website and watching several CMU Database Design YouTube videos, I’m excited to embark on this journey of developing our own relational database using Go. The CMU Advanced Database Systems course, taught by Andy Pavlo, has provided invaluable insights into modern database systems, networking protocols, and various database architectures.
This knowledge, combined with the practical approach of building a database from scratch in Go, sets a solid foundation for our project.
What to Expect in the next blogs ?
Implementing a B+Tree for a storage engine.
Implementing a Diskmanager.

What You Need
To participate effectively in this project, you should:
Have basic knowledge of Go.
Understand fundamental relational database concepts
Be familiar with the content from “Build your Own Database in Go”
Have watched key CMU Database Design YouTube videos for theoretical background.
Conclusion and Outlook
This project now stands on an even stronger foundation, combining practical Go programming with cutting-edge database theory from CMU. We’ll not only develop a functional database but also explore advanced concepts like store architectures, modern query optimization techniques, and potentially even basic distributed query execution. Stay tuned for our next post, where we’ll start implementing our storage engine, drawing inspiration from both the Go tutorial and the architectural insights from the CMU lectures. Your comments and questions are always welcome as we embark on this exciting journey together!
