AI Analysis

●MidNiche Gem

Educational video on LSM trees when blog posts and courses already cover this extensively.

Strengths
  • •Covers write amplification triangle, a concept many developers never learn deeply.
  • •Six-minute format is accessible compared to hour-long database architecture courses.
Weaknesses
  • •It's a video, not a tool or product developers can actually use or integrate.
  • •LSM tree explanations already exist from 3Blue1Brown, university courses, and database docs.

I built an interactive LSM Tree simulator

This actually simulates the full write path — WAL to memtable to immutable flush — and animates cascading leveled compactions so you can watch key movement and file counts in real time. The live bloom-filter checks and amplification metrics are the parts that will teach you something immediately; it's clearly built as a learning/debugging sandbox rather than a production profiler.

I built a persistent LSM-Tree storage engine in Go from scratch
