> However, I feel like I barely know anything.

Entirely normal thing to feel.

> I haven’t built any large project: my biggest code base is probably my FYP React Native app or the Vue/Flask web app for my internship.

Totally normal for a new grad.

> I don't know how databases work

Few do. If you're curious, you can read about it (or even write your own database engine; it's fun!), but generally people won't expect you to know about database internals.

> I can't solve the "easy" problems on LeetCode

That's probably more down to practice with that sort of problem than anything else.

Honestly I think you're probably worrying too much about it. No-one's expecting you to be an expert on everything, or even really anything, as a new-grad; new-grads generally aren't.
