Why Copy-on-Write B-Trees Accelerate Database Snapshots
This article explains how copy‑on‑write B‑trees work, why they speed up database snapshots, and what trade‑offs developers should consider.
Performance
Why B-Trees Outperform Binary Search Trees on Disk
B‑trees keep disk reads low and writes efficient, making them the preferred index structure in databases and filesystems.
How LSM Trees Minimize Write Amplification in Distributed Databases
A deep dive into LSM tree mechanics and why they’re the go‑to choice for minimizing write amplification in modern distributed databases.
Implementing Log-Structured Merge Trees for High‑Throughput Write‑Intensive Distributed Databases
A deep dive into LSM trees for distributed databases, explaining their write path, compaction mechanics, and practical deployment patterns.
