Manage bitempotal data with BarbelHisto

The last 15 years I've worked on projects for insurance businesses, implementing a variety of policy management systems. The topic that has always been a major requirement was to store the policies and their changes in a way that is traceable for audits and customer claims. Implementing bullet-proof bitemporal data storage has always taken a reasonable amount of time (and nerves). Every time we've implemented a new policy management system we have been on the lookout for a reusable component for bitemporal data. The few options we found did not really satisfy our needs, or had too many technical constraints. For that reason I've decided to implement my own open source library that I'd like to share with you guys: BarbelHisto. With this lightweight library I want to address that bitemporal data storage requirement, without any bothersome constraints. Just managing bitemporal data, that's it. No technology backpack.
