Translations & Tutorials

Chinese translation of Martin Kleppmann and Chris Riccomini’s landmark book Designing Data-Intensive Applications. Hosts both the 1st Edition (12 chapters) and the substantially rewritten 2nd Edition (14 chapters plus reading notes) across Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English — covering storage engines, replication, sharding, consensus, and stream processing.

Complete 11-chapter Chinese edition of Japanese database expert Hironobu Suzuki’s classic guide to PostgreSQL internals. Richly illustrated with hundreds of architectural diagrams, it walks through cluster physical layout, query cost estimation, parallel plans, MVCC snapshots, VACUUM & freeze, buffer pool management, WAL logging, and streaming replication.

Chinese translation of journalist Karen Hao’s investigative book Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI. Drawing on hundreds of insider interviews and primary documents, it traces OpenAI’s transformation from a non-profit safety lab into a compute empire, alongside its boardroom crisis, labor supply chains, and resource footprint.

Bilingual (Chinese & English) edition of Principal Engineer Drew Hoskins’s 18-chapter book on moving beyond ticket-taking to become a high-leverage product-minded engineer — aligning technical architecture with user needs, business economics, iterative validation, and AI-era product ownership.

Chinese edition of Egor Rogov’s monumental five-part volume on PostgreSQL 18 internals: Part I covers tuple versions, snapshots, page pruning, VACUUM, and freeze; Part II dissects the buffer cache, WAL, and crash recovery; Part III explains heavyweight/lightweight locks; Part IV traces query compilation and joins; Part V examines B-Tree, GiST, SP-GiST, GIN, BRIN, and Hash indexes.

Hands-on query optimization treatise built around the realistic Bookings airline database on PostgreSQL 18. Walks through planner cost models, sequential vs. index scan crossovers, Nested Loop / Hash / Merge joins, multivariate statistics, OS and SQL profiling tools, and systematic query refactoring patterns.

Chinese edition of Alexey Lesovsky’s practical guide to PostgreSQL observability. Covers the cumulative statistics subsystem, connection and wait-event analysis, pg_stat_statements query profiling, checkpoint and WAL pacing, replication lag, VACUUM bloat, and host-level CPU, memory, disk, and network diagnostics.

Chinese edition of HPE Principal Technologist Noriyoshi Shinoda’s major-release guide series, spanning 12 major PostgreSQL versions (9.5 through 19). Every feature is documented with architectural context, GUC/catalog changes, and self-contained SQL test scripts for upgrade planning.

Chinese edition of Chase Pierce’s Eight Kilobytes: From the Page Up. Starting from PostgreSQL’s fundamental 8 KB storage page, it builds a first-principles mental model of how tuples live on disk, how indexes reference pages, how MVCC creates dead tuples, and how those mechanics shape schema design and production operations.

The 11th edition of Postgres Professional’s introductory textbook, translated into Chinese. Guides newcomers from installing PostgreSQL and using psql to designing normalized schemas, writing joins and window functions, understanding ACID transactions, and performing backups.

A code-first workbook modeled after Go by Example. Across 57 focused lessons, it covers everyday PostgreSQL capabilities — CRUD, recursive CTEs, JSONB indexing, arrays, range types, full-text search, triggers, partitioning, and replication — through copy-pasteable SQL snippets.

A unified multilingual documentation hub for the six essential components of a production PostgreSQL cluster: Patroni (HA orchestration), pgBackRest (PITR backup), PgBouncer (connection pooling), pgBadger (log analysis), etcd (distributed consensus), and HAProxy (load balancing) — published across eight languages.
