    Take for example CMU's bustub DB. Great lecture material, but their own pedagogical database where you implement parts of the database.

    This seems like a fairly shallow course: if you’re interested in some real awesome database hacking, I highly recommend bustub. It’s great and educational.

    Not a tutorial but I completed all the assignments for CMU Database System course (link) and watched all their youtube videos before I started it (I highly recommend it, it's a great course and it's possible to submit the solutions even if you're not a CMU student. The entry code to gradescope is in the FAQ). Though, what I do is not re-writing bustub in Rust, as bustub uses 2 phase locking to achieve transaction isolation, and this uses MVCC, pretty much like Postgres (though currently much simpler). I used this resource as a starting point how it works.
