B-trees modify data in place on disk, which means updates can happen at many different disk locations. This leads to random disk writes, which are expensi... 3 min read · [codehunger.hashnode.dev](https://codehunger.hashnode.dev/why-modern-databases-use-lsm-trees-instead-of-b-trees?utm_source=hashnode&utm_medium=feed) [Ruban Sahoo](https://hashnode.com/@rubansahoo) · [Dec 29, 2025](https://hashnode.com/posts/building-high-throughput-systems/69529adfd2e24aa41fcddad3) ### [Building High Throughput Systems](https://ruban.hashnode.dev/building-high-throughput-systems?utm_source=hashnode&utm_medium=feed) Architectural Decisions & Trade-offs 31 min read · [ruban.hashnode.dev](https://ruban.hashnode.dev/building-high-throughput-systems?utm_source=hashnode&utm_medium=feed) [Ramesh Sinha](https://hashnode.com/@justramesh2000) · [Dec 18, 2025](https://hashnode.com/posts/build-an-lsm-tree-storage-engine-from-scratch-handbook/6944631e80f40a442d1799df) ### [How to Build an LSM Tree Storage Engine from Scratch – Full Handbook](https://freecodecamp.org/news/build-an-lsm-tree-storage-engine-from-scratch-handbook?utm_source=hashnode&utm_medium=feed) Databases are one of the most important parts of a software system.
