TL;DR
A few days ago I gave a presentation titled The Only Thing That Matters. Below you can find the list of materials one could use to ramp up his knowledge about topics covered in the presentation. Beware! Spoilers ahead!
Sql Server
- http://rusanu.com/blog/ - the first and the best source that you can find when reading about SQL Server underlying storage capabilities is this blog, especially http://rusanu.com/2012/01/17/what-is-an-lsn-log-sequence-number/
- https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190411.aspx
- https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms179355.aspx
Event Store
- https://github.com/EventStore/EventStore - the most important part is the codebase located on GitHub
- https://github.com/EventStore/EventStore/wiki/Architectural-Overview - you should take a look at the architecture overview as well. The wiki on GitHub is not maintained but still, it’s valid.
- http://blog.scooletz.com/2014/06/11/pearls-eventstore-transaction-log/ - the last but not least is my entry where I describe the design behind efficient flushing of the log
Kafka
- https://aphyr.com/posts/293-call-me-maybe-kafka - Kafka Jepsen test
- https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#design - the design behind this broker
Summary
I hope this links help you in pursuing the understanding of logging and append only structures. Let’s flush some data on disk!

Kafka is my aim to learn and test but your reference to blog "call me maybe" scares me :)
by Karol at 2017-03-04 09:14:43 +0000Why does it scare you? Because of the possible data loss or the complexity?
When learning Kafka, you don't have to know all the distributed systems terms and theories. The client API is pretty straight forward and you can easily abstract away the underlying implementation details when learning. It's up to you and your learning pattern :)
