Understand the code

[TaMaN2031A]

Could you tell me how to have a deep understand of the code? I don't know where to start.

There is no way to receive a deep understanding of code without a long-lasting working on it.

As for me, the best start is to choose one of tasks, which is marked as a good first issue, spot the relevant piece of code (look around src/ directory content, grep relevant keywords), read it and experiment on it.

There is some internal documentation here: https://docs.tarantool.dev/en/latest/, but not much. I would also suggest to look around articles in Kostja's blog: http://kostja.github.io/ — those are not about particular places in the code, but rather about the architecture and design decisions behind it.

Last, but not least, you can ask a question in the Telegram chat https://t.me/tarantool, but, please, attempt to shrink the question to a certain context (say, particular issue).

(If you want to participate in GSoC 2022, there is more related Telegram chat, where your questions and answers to them may also be useful for other students: https://t.me/+T7iUBVmNd3sxNjcy. I suggest to use it for all questions more or less related to GSoC.)
