While xtdb is a general-purpose database, I’d like to know what kind of projects use xtdb and what use normal sql database in Juxt?

There are a lot of projects being worked on across JUXT currently (dozens at least), and in most cases the client already has some database/storage in place. We therefore generally avoid bringing up XT in discussions unless there is some very clear benefit to the client's architecture. For fully green field projects though I think we are now more likely to use XT than not, but it naturally comes down to client preferences.

We’re using it at http://redsky.io to build a greenfield e-commerce platform.

> a greenfield e-commerce platform Oh cool, that's exciting. I was previously at IBM working with WebSphere Commerce & Sterling Order Management, AMA 🙂 I've often thought that valid-time would be a really nice solution to the concept of "previewing" changes to business data & rules - certainly much cleaner than all the extra relational tables (and EJB 1.1 code!) required to implement what WebSphere Commerce was doing https://help.hcltechsw.com/commerce/8.0.0/management-center/concepts/cpvpreview.html I look forward to hearing more about Red Sky in the future!

Also, there's still time to join the LA Clojure Users Group meetup happening tonight, where they'll be looking at XT in more detail once again https://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Clojure-Users-Group/events/281281433/
