Datomic is a great event log, but it is explicitly not meant to be used in high write volume environments, as it is limited by the serial transactor.

- dj-wonk 12y agoI think of Datomic as much more than a write log, since it includes the Datalog query language. Also, how are you defining "high write volume"? Have you looked at metrics of how fast Datomic's serial transactor can be?
- dantiberian 12y agoFrom the FAQ: "When is Datomic not a good fit? Datomic is not a good fit if you need unlimited write scalability, or have data with a high update churn rate (e.g. counters). And, at present, Datomic does not have support for BLOBs." I agree Datomic is far more than a write log but in the context of this thread, the discussion was about write logs.
