Is it possible to preload multiple databases after instance restart or speed up the initial d/connect? I’d like to deploy ions often but every deployment results in the initial d/connect to a non preloaded db taking 10+ seconds.

@sl What kind of topology are you using?

@joe.lane solo for dev and testing and production for qa and live

• Is it the same production topology for QA and Live? • How do you know the problem the d/connect time is taking a long time? • Are you sure it's not because of lambda coldstart? • Have you considered using HTTP DIrect?

@sl I'm not sure how you're measuring the time, but the first thing I would look at is switching to Http Direct if you aren't already using it.

1) yes. Though the issue is way more pronounced on solo. 3) lambda cold starts occasionally contribute to the issue but I run lambda warmers to help mitigate this 4) I am using appsync so I have to invoke lambdas

3) I think that lambdas are rebuilt on redeploy so I'm not sure your warmers would be able to help 4) Doesn't appsync also support an http proxy?

hmmm, I have somehow completely missed ions with HTTP direct. I’ll do some testing on production topology. Thanks for that tip! 2) as of d/connect taking a long time - when I manually reboot the solo topology instance and after restart connect to that system from my laptop (bypassing the lambda function altogether) then the first connect +query/transaction takes a long time.

With dev-local, what are the limitations about storage, number of transactors and readers?

Hi there, I've heard rumours about datomic cloud support for cross db queries, do you guys know something about this? Any reading material on the subject is more than welcome

Cross DB queries in cloud refers to the same db at two different points on it's timeline, not two different databases across timeline's.

Other thing that isn't very clear to me regarding datomic cloud. Suppose I have a production topology with several dbs, would the write ops interfere with one another among those databases or are they served by different transactors?

@schultzkaue Different transactors. They would not compete for resources in the way you described.
