Hi! Good question.
Datomic and pfs have very similar data models, we drew some inspiration for our architecture from them.
They're targeting different use cases though. Datomic is a database so it's meant as the source of truth that you run your application off of. It has features like optimized point queries, indexing, caching etc. Pachyderm on the other hand is meant for analytic workloads, so we focus on having very fast aggregations and tools for long running queries and workloads.
Hope this clears it up for you :)
- znt 11y agoThanks for the answer, where can we submit our suggestions for examples/tutorials? I mean having an example project that runs some Python/R/C# code against historical stock market data would be a good use case.
- jdoliner 11y agoThis example seems really interesting, we should do it. Github issues would be a fine place I think. Or emailing me at jd@pachyderm.io if you'd prefer :)
