What's wrong with databases?

Databases, or more specifically "Database Management Systems" (DBMSs), operate at the beating heart of the majority of software development, providing powerful guarantees about data integrity, and yet they are increasingly regarded as brittle bottlenecks that should be isolated between services. Why is this happening? And which technologies are seeking to reverse this unfortunate trend?

Bitemporal Data Management with XTDB

Have you ever had to create an append-only database table to maintain an immutable audit history or avoid destructive updates? Or have you ever had to manage multiple versions of data over time? If so, then you may have already built a bitemporal application! In this workshop we will review examples of ad-hoc temporal database designs and get to grips with the capabilities of XTDB - a database with native support for handling bitemporal data.

By the end of the workshop you will understand the system-wide implications for handling bitemporal data with any technologies and be familiar with how to use XTDB to address common requirements.

No prior SQL, Datalog or Clojure experience is required.
