Can anyone point me to a linke describing current state of datomic cloud BLOB/bytes datatype support?

marshall19:05:46

you should not store blobs in datomic

rkiouak19:05:47

thanks, I did see that. I would not characterize my storage need here as large unstructured binary data -- rather its encrypted string values

marshall19:05:37

you could use strings, but they’re limited to 4096 characters

rkiouak19:05:48

I would strongly prefer not to incur the base64 encode+decode cost

rkiouak19:05:25

is the plan to sunset the on prem db.type/bytes at some point?

marshall19:05:31

i doubt it will go away in On Prem. That’s not very “Spec-ulation” compatible 😉

rkiouak19:05:27

appreciate the info & help

rkiouak19:05:51

roadmap information w.r.t. small binary data in datomic cloud would be super interesting to me

marshall19:05:52

i would also expect that Cloud will eventually support additional options for this use case

marshall19:05:59

but i dont know what it’s going to look like or when it might be

rkiouak19:05:07

ok, thanks

rkiouak19:05:14

I know you said you aren't sure what a bytes type or similar would look like, but just in case the referenceprompts anything, any further info the on the LOB entry here? https://docs.datomic.com/on-prem/moving-to-cloud.html#other

marshall19:05:09

that would be what i’m referring to; dont’ know what it will look like or when it might appear
