I'm not sure there is an easy way to convert Instant and DateTime

numeric value.
The problem is that the resolution for temporal types is nanoseconds, the
following datetime is valid:
year: -999.999.999
month: 12
day: 31
hour: 23
minute: 59
second: 59
nanos: 999.999.999
It gets more complicated when we need to store Offset or time zone.
Why not just call Instant#toEpochMilli. I thought we agreed that for instant
based time we stick to epoch time. There might be a loss in resolution, but
I think this is fine in our case.
