Isn't datomic closed source?

  That's what it looks like. And after 10 seconds of reading I couldn't tell what it actually does.

  It is closed source, just like DynamoDB. However - unlike DynamoDB - it has a quite usable free version and an even better starter version, which are good enough for production use. (The DDB local version is really only good for development) By production use, I mean for example a non-replicated MongoDB/PgSQL/MySQL, which is what I see from many smaller companies... They would be already really better of with Datomic. If you really need more features, like high availability and transparent query caching with memcached, then the cheapest paid version has a one-time cost of $3000: http://www.datomic.com/pricing.html http://www.datomic.com/pricing.html You can easily save that amount of money by not spending 3-6 months developing tons of unnecessary queries, try to maintain that code and try to optimize its performance for scale... On the "open-sourceness" note, I feel obliged to mention https://github.com/tonsky/datascript https://github.com/tonsky/datascript which IS open-source, and has a Datomic-like interface, but it's "just" an in-memory implementation. But we are getting off-topic here I guess...
