This is true but it's a false premise. You have history but it's clunky to work with.
You won't be able to "source" and recreate the past without some work and unexpected things will happen when you "source" the past with the most recent code.
It useful but the history aspect is easily misunderstood.
- emccue 4y agoIn this respect XTDB has a more directly useful model
- blain_the_train 4y agoCan you explain what "source" means?
- john567 4y agoOh, yeah, think of event sourcing. You have a series of events leading up (aggregate) into some state. This can be done in different ways but with Datomic you can request a point in time database. This database doesn't exist so it needs to be "sourced" from history. This means running through everything that happened up to some point to create a snapshot of the database state (or query).
