Perhaps a dumb question, but how do you get data into it if you’re not doing writes

I think it's just immutable once you've generated it. No need to update indexes or check consistency on writes, no need for transactions, etc.

Think historical records of, say, share values for past years. You might have a single db for 1900-2000, for instance. Things like that.

Not everything needs to be real-time updated.
