Hi @robert-stuttaford diving into https://libraries.io/github/robert-stuttaford/terraform-example

enjoy 🙂 you know where to find me if you have questions!

@jonpither we went live with our closed-source version of that code two Saturdays ago. it’s doing great.

thanks for the link to the getting started series

has anyone found a good approach for load testing a cloud based datomic install?

@jonpither you mean artificially - by directly generating transactions, or by simulation, through exercising a website’s pages?

we’ve done the second with https://github.com/mhjort/clojider

it’s pretty straightforward to do the first; ship a lein project with the peer library and an nrepl service included and connect emacs and generate transactions 🙂

That looks good 🙂 I've primarily thinking of load-testing the transactor

@robert-stuttaford that intro to Terraform resource you sent me is excellent

yeah, so that’d be sustained transaction input

I'm skipping Terragrunt, but getting a lot from it

until you reach indexing thresholds

Cool

terragrunt, neat! never heard of that before

Will check out - https://github.com/mhjort/clojider

@mhjort is around if you have questions, too 🙂

nice. You guys are being very helpful 🙂

thanks

that’s how we do it around here buddy 🙂

good luck!

@juliobarros If you mean these: http://docs.datomic.com/storage.html#provisioning-dynamo http://docs.datomic.com/aws.html Then, yes, they are up to date

I'm interested in working Datomic into my workflow, but it's rather unclear to me what the cost structure would be, and I don't have a profitable project to bolt it onto right now. Do I need to maintain a separate database, and Datomic sits ontop of it? And then I pay an extra licensing fee atop that? I'd love to get started if I could deploy it for free (for now) to AWS or Heroku, possible?

@josh.freckleton Datomic Starter provides a no-cost way (from the perspective of Datomic license cost anyway) to deploy a Datomic application

@marshall I can get pretty far on a $0 budget for launching/testing an MVP on heroku/AWS. How much room do I have to grow with Datomic while staying at the free tier? IE how many users/MBs/other pertinent variables?

Datomic Starter is quite powerful. the scaling limit will come in if you want to add numerous peers. a Starter license is limited to 2 concurrent peers

some details are available here: http://www.datomic.com/pricing.html

thanks @marshall !
