toyDB Architecture

toyDB is a simple distributed SQL database, intended to illustrate how such systems are built. The overall structure is similar to real-world distributed databases, but the design and implementation has been kept as simple as possible for understandability. Performance and scalability are explicit non-goals, as these are major sources of complexity in real-world systems.

This guide will walk through toyDB's architecture and code from the bottom up, with plenty of links to the actual source code.
