Pavlo's CMU database courses are some of the best educational content on YouTube, and they are updated regularly with revised course content. Great way to get up to speed with the technical underpinnings of modern databases, as well as emerging areas of research.

(Big time commitment though, FYI.)

I was going to comment the same thing. Even if you never plan on writing a database, the lectures are a great overview of what goes into building reliable distributed systems.

Can confirm. I'm currently halfway through the first one. It has given me a lot more clarity on what is going on under the hood. Also makes it much easier to understand how to compare one database to another!

If I may ask, which career paths would benefit from taking such a course?
