How does LevelDB work? I built one from scratch to find out

I built a key-value database engine from scratch in Go

NiroDB is an LSM-tree based KV store I built to understand how databases like LevelDB/RocksDB work under the hood.

What's inside:

• Skip List memtable (O log n reads/writes)
• Write-Ahead Log with CRC32 crash recovery
• SSTable v2 with Bloom Filter (~0.8% false positive rate)
• Size-tiered Compaction
• TCP Server with RESP protocol (Redis-compatible)
• Zero external dependencies

Still early stage but fully working. Would love feedback from people who know this space better than me!
