Where do I find the upgrade instructions from solo to production?

An attribute which is unique by identity allows us to use its value instead of a :db/id to identify an entity within a transaction. If no entity exists with that value then an entity is created, otherwise facts are stored about the existing entity. Do composite tuples work the same way? They are also :db.unique/identity, however they seem to operate more like :db.unique/value in that they throw an exception when the tuple value already exists.

Or in other words, can I take advantage of a tuple to update an existing entity? For example, change this player's colour based on the combination of their first and last name:

{:tx-data [{
            ; composite tuple attributes:
            :player/first-name "Jean-Luc"
            :player/last-name  "Picard"
            
            ; some fact to store about the existing entity
            :player/colour     "blue"
            }]}

You can indeed use a composite tuple for identity and upsert. You have to include the tuple itself in the transaction So in your example, if the unique attribute is called :player/first+last, you need to include a value for :player/first+last in your next transaction to get upsert

Thanks @marshall, you just made my day.

i'm attempting to transact a tuple ident and am getting the following exception:

(d/transact (client/get-conn)
            {:tx-data [
                       {:db/ident       :user/first+last
                        :db/valueType   :db.type/tuple
                        :db/tupleAttrs  [:user/first :user/last]
                        :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/one
                        :db/unique      :db.unique/identity}
                       ]})

Unable to resolve entity: :db/tupleAttrs

is it technically possible/viable to downgrade the production primary compute group instance type to something cheaper as long as you don't have users?

the supported instance types are fixed

if you don’t need HA

i can see that

reducing asg size

thanks

still, its a factor ten price difference at least

from solo - prod?

yes

fair enough; we are definitely taking feedabck and considering options

also, you can ‘turn off’ the system over nights/weekends if it’s not a user-facing prod system

same technique - ASG to 0

as long as my customer is not live, I will have difficulty explaining this price to him

we’re also looking into tooling that will make that somewhat easier to do/manage

simultaneously, I need the architecture at some point, to develop against prod. only features like http-direct

or have staging/test query group separation

i need the platform running for 1-5 users testing on the customer site

turn off is no option

Are there plans to expose point-in-time queries via datomic analytics?

When I create entities I always give them an attribute called :base/type , which is just a keyword, for instance :bank-account . I'd like to find all the entities (preferably that I've created) that don't have this attribute. I've asked this on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58866423/find-all-entities-that-are-missing-a-particular-attribute, but no answers...
