Im not sure how this qualifies as open source when the repo for the book[0] is essentially empty?

[0] https://github.com/Apress/db-performance-at-scale

I wondered about that, too, but in the body of the article they claim the license is a Creative Commons flavor so I interpreted it as a marketingdroid faux pas that the source is not available but that the content is open

I guess the distinction would be if someone wanted to upstream a change, not fork it, through what mechanism would that take place, but I'm going with "highly unlikely" on that one

Yes, seems like the GitHhub repo was a bit of an after thought:

Top right:

> About > SOURCE CODE for "Database Performance at Scale: A Practical Guide (Apress, 2023)," by Felipe Cardeneti Mendes, Piotr Sarna, Pavel Emelyanov & Cynthia Dunlop

But readme.md:

> This repository ACCOMPANIES Database Performance at Scale:A Practical Guide by Felipe Cardeneti Mendes, Piotr Sarna, Pavel Emelyanov & Cynthia Dunlop (Apress, 2023).

In the context of technical books "source code for" often means "source code for [readers of the book to reference while reading]" rather than "source code for [building the book]"
