🎓 University Lecture Notes & Course Repositories
- MIT 6.824: Distributed Systems Lecture Notes: This course from MIT is considered the absolute gold standard globally. It provides a deep dive into the foundational architectures that power modern cloud storage systems, including the Google File System (GFS), Raft consensus, Paxos, and distributed fault-tolerant storage engines.
👉 MIT 6.824 Lecture Notes GitHub Repository - IIT Delhi COL733: Cloud Computing Technology Fundamentals: This course from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi focuses heavily on core cloud infrastructure. The materials include detailed notes on MapReduce architectures, lineage-based storage pipelines (Apache Spark), and maintaining replica consistency across cloud nodes.
👉 IIT Delhi COL733 Course Notes GitHub Repository - Institut Polytechnique de Paris: Cloud Computing Infrastructures: An excellent academic course repository detailing how to build distributed, scalable data stores. The notes comprehensively cover horizontal scalability, fault tolerance, data replication patterns, and cluster sharding mechanisms.
👉 Cloud Computing Infrastructures GitHub Repository - UC Santa Cruz CSE138: Distributed Systems Lecture Notes: Comprehensive study notes compiled from Prof. Lindsey Kuper’s popular lectures. This repository is highly recommended for mastering the logical and physical limitations of cloud databases, such as the CAP theorem, eventual consistency, and vector clocks.
