How do you set up and feed the warehouse? Temporal-ish tables have been an obvious, simple, and mostly foolproof solution for many of our historical analytics and reporting needs.

Bitemporal stuff (enabling edited versions of history) is where things get hairy and I definitely question the utility outside of a dedicated use case.

Debezium is a great open-source product for streaming changes from many relational databases: https://debezium.io
