Temporal Databases for Streaming Architectures

This course on temporal databases for streaming architectures aims to teach learners about the importance of time in database designs and introduce Crux, an open-source document database with bitemporal graph queries. The course covers the goals of Crux as an unbundled, pluggable, and layered database with bitemporal ACID transactions. Learners will explore the significance of bitemporality in maintaining a consistent temporal view of data in a streaming architecture. The course also delves into the design choices behind supporting a Datalog query engine on Key/Value stores, clustering with Kafka, and utilizing Clojure for system construction. The intended audience for this course includes database developers, architects, and individuals interested in temporal databases and streaming architectures.
