I have to say that the introduction of a turn of the century enterprise software pricing model is not a welcome thing.
I think the subscription model is a much better approach in todays market. In particular since I think Datomic's early adopters are going to be mainly startups and not larger enterprise customers.
Their initial hosted transactor model was a good idea as well. The problem I think was that it was hard to come up with a way of pricing it in a way that people could understand.
Here's hoping they will return to our add back either the subscription model or hosted transactor in the near future.
- drcode 14y agoMaybe I'm just lazy, but the biggest impediment to using Datomic right now is that I don't want to deal with the hosting and configuration that's required. If I could just go to datomic.com, log in and click "create new database" and call it "my_new_app_database" and then immediately use that database from my app that would be fantastic. (In short, I wish there was a heroku for datomic... admittedly, paying customers probably aren't impeded by such newb issues.)
- pelle 14y agoI agree I would like this.
