A similar resource I recently discovered and it’s not that popular: https://github.com/pingcap/talent-plan/tree/master/courses/r...
Writing a Bitcask(KV wal) like db in Rust. Really cool and simple ideas. The white paper is like 5 pages.
Bitcask is great, it's such an elegant idea. I've built a few different toy implementations in different languages and learned something new each time. YMMV based on how many deps you do or don't want to use, how complete you want to go, but it's a totally doable small-ish project.
