That looks awesome. One of the listed use-cases is 'time-travel': https://dolthub.com/blog/2021-03-09-dolt-use-cases-in-the-wi...

I wish we could use this at work. We're trying to predict time-series stuff. However, there's a lot of infrastructure complexity which is there to ensure that when we're training on data from years ago, that we're not using data that would be in the future from this point (future data leaking into the past).

Using Dolt, as far as I understand it, we could simply set the DB to a point in the past where the 'future' data wasn't available. Very cool

We use DataVault for that. And perhaps Databricks at some point in the future
