Bitemporal Databases: What They Are and Why They Matter (with James Henderson of XTDB)

James Henderson explains the concept of bitemporality, why it matters for data tracking, and how XTDB is designed using Clojure.

As a developer, it's crucial to understand the various types of databases available so you can choose the right tool for the job. In this episode, we're shining a spotlight on bitemporal databases with James Henderson, lead developer of of a new bitemporal database called XTDB. You may have already created an ad-hoc bitemporal database without realizing it, but James and his team have been hard at work building a custom database that's tailor-made for situations where having two notions of time are essential. Join us to learn about the what and why of bitemporality and explore the process of designing and building a database in #Clojure. Ready to get started with XTDB? Visit xtdb.com/v2 to learn more.
