by Ashley Wilson
Have you ever asked yourself what really happens behind the scenes when you search something online, book a flight, or manage business data?
Do you wonder how massive companies like Amazon, Netflix, or even your bank store, retrieve, and protect mountains of data every second of the day?
If you're nodding, curious, or just a little overwhelmed by all things "databases," then let’s have a real talk.

Can you design a schema that scales, write SQL like a pro, or know when to use normalization—or not to?
Have you ever explored how distributed systems work, why ACID matters, or what’s going on inside a B+ Tree or hash function?
What about cloud databases, big data platforms, or the explosion of AI-integrated querying?
If any of that sounds complex, you’re exactly the person this book was written for.

Real-world applications in healthcare, finance, e-commerce, and IoT
And a whole lot more—yes, including tips, hacks, FAQs, tools, and interview-level know-how
