Project Overview
Lately I’ve been feeling that doing one solid, deep project teaches more than doing many small ones.
So I’m planning to build a key–value store, starting from scratch. First something very basic, then slowly adding features as I learn.
Not trying to build the next Redis or anything. The goal is just to understand how these systems actually work internally.
Posting this mainly to keep myself disciplined and consistent.
No deadlines, no big claims, just learning by building.
If you’ve worked on something similar or have advice, I’d love to hear it.
