Datomic Team Presentations

Understanding & Using Reified Transactions

Tim Ewald describes in detail how transactions are modeled in Datomic at Datomic Conf 2015.

Clients in Control

David Nolen talks about how Datomic and Om worked together at Datomic Conf 2015.

  • The Functional Database: Rich Hickey discusses how a functional database can impact the programming model, using Datomic as an example, but the principles apply to other systems using an immutable database
  • Simulation Testing with Simulant: Stuart Halloway discusses simulation-based testing using Simulant, a testing library built using Datomic
  • Deconstructing the Database: Rich Hickey deconstructs the monolithic database into separate services, transactions, storage, query, combining them with a data model based on atomic facts to provide new capabilities and tradeoffs
  • Rich Hickey on Datomic, CAP, and ACID: QCon SF 2012 interviews Rich Hickey
  • Breaking Down Big Data with Datomic: Stuart Sierra speaking at Chariot Solutions
  • Exploring Datomic: Tim Ewald explores Datomic's architecture and some of its implications focused entirely on technical details
  • Writing Datomic in Clojure: Rich Hickey introduces Datomic, including architectural and implementation details
  • The Impedance Mismatch is Our Fault: Stuart Halloway explains what the impedance mismatch is and what can be done to solve it in the context of RDBMS, OOP, and NoSQL.
  • The Database as a Value: Rich speaking at GOTO Chicago Functional Programming Night. Discusses the importance of immutability and time in representing information, the reification of process, and the mechanisms of durable persistent data structures
