Functional Programming in the Cloud: Simpler Application Development with Datomic Cloud
summary
Claim: using Datomic Cloud plus functional techniques removes incidental complexity by treating the database as an immutable value with logical time. Demo connects directly to AWS, provisions a cluster in about 15 minutes, uses Datalog and time-travel queries (entity attribute value time), returns pull-structured results like GraphQL, and shows Ions deploys code into the cluster with autoscaling. The stack works end-to-end and simplifies debugging, auditing, and cloud-first workflows.
