The setup

You have a users table with 10 million rows. You run:

SELECT * FROM users
WHERE email = 'alice@example.com';

It takes 4.2 seconds. The database has no index on the email column — it reads every single row to find a match. This is called a full table scan.

Concepts you'll memoize

From DNS lookups to database sharding — the stuff interviews test but courses skip.

Why this is different

}

5 minutes, not 5 hours

Each lesson is exactly 5 minutes. Read, see a diagram, answer questions, done. Short enough to never skip, deep enough to actually learn.
