Phoenix Forge Lab

Deep, no-fluff notes on the things I'm learning — just sharing what I figure out as I go.

A growing collection of deep, no-fluff notes — just me sharing what I figure out as I learn it. Each one goes past how to use it down to how it actually works underneath, the why behind the functionality and the design.

I'm turning each topic into a NotebookLM notebook so you can ask it questions and explore interactively — look for the 🧠 callout (added per topic as I publish them).

Topics

• MongoDB — documents and BSON, the WiredTiger storage engine, B-tree indexes, aggregation, data modeling, replication & sharding.
• PostgreSQL — coming next.

Built with

Docusaurus + Mermaid diagrams, deployed to GitHub Pages.
