      I learned Postgres replication by studying PostgreSQL 16 Administration Cookbook by Simon Riggs et al

      - Chap 11 Backup and Recovery

      - Chap 12 Replication and Upgrades

      Highly recommended!

      I've plannned for an extensive CompSci x sysadmin x backend engineer curriculum for myself after visiting lots of roadmap sites like roadmap.sh/devops etc.

      I've planned that I'd gift myself something that makes me happy. It could be:

      - the ultimate gift to myself will be a travel

      - the small gifts on the way could be any learning materials(books/courses) that help me to further my knowledge in that field.

      This is quite ambitious and not in particular order and isn't expected to finish ever. It's a continuous process. I've given my short background at the end (if you're interested)

      # Operating System completed

      Say, I complete learning the fundamentals of Operating System(CS course), then I'll be gifting myself a book on vim/vi editor

      # DBMS completed I'd gift myself "understanding the linux kernel" book.

      # Java completed ?

      # Data Structures completed ?

      # Algo completed

      "Cracking the coding interview" book.

      # Docker completed ?

      # Kubernetes completed

      "postgresql 16 administration cookbook" book.

      # Linux LVM completed "data science at the command line" book

      # Linux Bash script completed "cyber ops with bash" book

      # Node.js completed OSCP course buy(not the certification just learning materials from one site I know of)

      # performance testing completed ?

      # DBMS security completed ?

      # network security completed ?

      # Linux course completed Ashghar Ghori RHCSA book as gift

      # Git completed ?

      # Computer Networks completed for the second time ?

      My background

      - I've been doing stuffs on linux since years and employed as a production support associate.

      - I'm selfhosting various stuffs on Linux server(before you tell me to skip all these learnings and self host).

      - I'm quite active in various popular linux forums, asking questions mostly. And helping if I find something very obvious.

      - I've around 50 virtual machines in my current home laptop. I definitely won't just read books and don't apply anything(before you tell me to not do so).
