      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Everyone!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;First, I would like to thank you for being here with me as we go over some database fundamentals that I've learned throughout my career as a Software Engineer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal of this series is to bridge the gap between Software Developers and Backend Database Admins.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before we start, I would like to thank &lt;a href="https://www.brentozar.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Brent Ozar&lt;/a&gt; for opening my eyes to how the world of SQL, especially Microsoft SQL, works behind the scenes. I encourage you to visit his free course for more in-depth understanding of Microsoft SQL.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As for this series of articles, I would like to focus on the Software Developer's point of view rather than the DBA side of things. The reason for that is I want the posts to be short and direct for developers!&lt;/p&gt;
