Databases & storage Videos Recommended on Hacker News (72)
Databases & storage is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 72 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2008 and 2026 — 198 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Databases and storage: SQL, SQLite, Postgres, NoSQL, query engines, indexing, transactions, filesystems, storage engines, data modeling, stream processing, event sourcing.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on "Testing Distributed Systems w/ Deterministic Simulation" by Will Wilson: “this is one of the most amazing talks on distributed systems” — an HN commenter, 2018.
