These blogs were written for my pleasure, but I hope you will enjoy them too. The contents came from my own experience and readings. Most of them were reviewed by experts in the respective fields before being published here; however, it is inevitable to convey inaccurate information sometimes. If you have feedback or are interested in exchanging ideas, I am more than happy to hear from you at nga dash tran at live dot com. The blogs are aimed to point out trade-offs and issues that are neither available nor discussed deeply enough and throw out some questions and thoughts for future designs. At the beginning of each post, there will be links to the topic's related documents.
Distributed Cloud Databases is the current focus and I aim to provide materials for (1) basic readings, classes and references; (2) designs of Open-source and Commercial Databases; (3) technical talks; and (4) topics to be written. If you are interested in specific topics that you think I will be able to provide but are not listed, please email me. Here is my brief background and experience. I found that each of my recent posts was a combination of many topics I had planned to write in different posts. Based on the context of the new designs in the current market, I have discovered it is more comprehensive to put many topics together in a more general context. Enjoy the readings!
