📊 Predict SME Financial Health | Zindi Challenge

SMEs are vital to Southern Africa’s economy but often financially fragile. Traditional metrics like revenue don’t capture true wellbeing.

🚀 Zindi presents the Financial Health Index (FHI) — a data-driven measure of SME financial stability across savings, debt, resilience, and access to finance.

🤖 Use socio-economic and business data from Eswatini, Lesotho, Zimbabwe & Malawi to build ML models that predict FHI and help shape inclusive financial support.

Prizes
1st place: $750 USD

What I've Been Learning Over the Last Two Days

For the past two days, I've been diving into one of the most fascinating topics in backend engineering: how databases physically store and retrieve data.

Like many developers, I've spent years writing SQL queries, creating indexes, and building applications on top of databases. But I realized I didn't fully understand what actually happens after executing an INSERT, UPDATE, or SELECT. So, I decided to go deeper.

I've been learning about:
- How data is stored on disk
- B-Trees and LSM Trees
- Write-Ahead Logs (WAL)
- MemTables and SSTables
- Storage engines and indexing
- The trade-offs behind different database designs

One thing that has made learning much easier is combining reading with visual simulations. Seeing these concepts animated while reading about them has helped me build a much stronger mental model of how databases work internally.

Resources I'm using:
📖 Learning resource based on Designing Data-Intensive Applications (DDIA) concepts
https://designing-data-intensive-applicatio.vercel.app/

🎥 Database Storage Explained (visual simulation)
https://youtu.be/TIkSh6teQFo

I'm not trying to memorize every detail. My goal is to understand the why behind database design decisions so I can become a better backend engineer and system designer. The more I learn, the more I appreciate the incredible engineering behind systems like PostgreSQL, MySQL, RocksDB, Cassandra, and LevelDB.

Still learning. Still curious. One concept at a time.

I used the book "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" as a resource.

🐳 Spent some time this week actually digging into how Docker works under the hood, not just "docker run" and move on.

Sharing what clicked for me.
The biggest realization: a container isn't really a "thing." It's just a normal Linux process that's been boxed in using two kernel features — namespaces and cgroups. Namespaces control what the process can see (its own PIDs, network, filesystem, hostname).

Cgroups control what it's allowed to use (CPU, memory, I/O). That's it. No magic container object in the kernel — Docker is basically a really good abstraction layer on top of stuff that's been in Linux since 2002.

Also didn't realize how many layers are actually involved when you type docker run. The CLI talks to dockerd, which hands things off to containerd, which hands things off to runc, which is the thing that finally talks to the kernel and sets up the namespaces/cgroups. Docker itself is more of a coordinator than the thing doing the heavy lifting.

And the image layering thing finally makes sense to me now — every line in your Dockerfile is a read-only layer, and when you run a container it just adds one thin writable layer on top. That's why spinning up a container is fast — you're not copying a whole filesystem, just stacking diffs (copy-on-write).

Anyway, if you want the full deep dive (fair warning, it's long — 35 min read, but worth it), here's the article that walked me through it:
