Ions: Develop cloud applications by deploying to a running Datomic cluster
Can someone explain the benefits of Datomic Ions? What problems is it supposed to solve and how does it compare to existing solutions?<p>Also, what is the story regarding local development? (I also have this concern about AWS Lambda; it seems you can only realistically run code in the actual cloud environment)<p>We are investing heavily in the Clojure-ecosystem (but not yet Datomic). It seems Cognitect is strongly headed into a direction which involves some kind of holistic vision about a new stack, but they don't seem to explicitly communicate this vision anywhere.<p>Edit: I asked the above question also on Clojure Reddit and got an interesting response: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/8p3d5s/datomic_ions_your_app_on_datomic_cloud/e09dz9e/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/8p3d5s/datomic_ion...</a>
