"A first-class history close to hand is a game changer for application development" 💡 Following on from his initial blog post on integrating with the FINOS 'TraderX' project, Michal Pisanko wrote up a few more reflections on XTDB itself juxt.pro/blog/bitempora…

SW Engineer Michal Pisanko shares insights on integrating XTDB – an open source bitemporal database – into FINOS TraderX trading app. Adding temporal 'sliders' shows XTDB's "time-travel" feature, enabling to navigate and visualize data changes juxt.pro/blog/bitempora…

v2.0.0-beta6 is out today 🚀 Lots of bug fixing and resilience improvements in this one. Next up is beta7, with improved support for time series data - we'll finally be able to settle an age old debate: "how is XTDB different to a time series database?" xtdb.com/blog/v2beta6

Join us LIVE for a 1-hour session on 19 Feb (tomorrow!) at 1500 UTC, where Jeremy Taylor will give a tour of the latest developments in v2 ahead of the General Availability launch, which is just a few weeks away 🚀 us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Am honored to (virtually) sit down with Malcolm Sparks & Jeremy Taylor on the JUXT podcast. Chatting about Clojure, SQL, Rabbit, end-user programming, visual tools, etc. juxt.pro/blog/ryan-robi…

XTDB 2.0.0-beta7 is now available! The release includes a new indexing strategy specifically for handling time-series data: github.com/orgs/xtdb/disc…

"It would be desirable to arrange the events so that a look into our data base will show the latest surface of the event space. At the same time it should be possible to penetrate beyond this surface along the lifelines into the past." -- UPDATE RECONSIDERED (1977)

In the build up to an official XTDB v2 release we are running a series of informal chats on our Discord server - come join! This Friday we're speaking with Arjun Narayan who has battled many times with as-of chaos during his time at Materialize - see github.com/orgs/xtdb/disc…

Great way to mess around with temporal DBs like XTDB.
