Clojurians Log v2

no, it is a somewhat different product

but you can run datomic pro in cloud as well of course, but you can directly install cloud from the aws marketplace

https://docs.datomic.com/setup-cloud/setup-cloud.html Broad strokes: 1. Create an AWS account 2. Run the Storage Cloudformation Template 3. Run the Compute Cloudformation Template When executing the Compute Template you will be asked how big, and how many EC2 instances you want. You can change that in the AutoScalingGroup in the EC2 console, later. You can even make it 0, to stop the system

Also worth noting: Cognitect does not provide the ability to delete storage, so your data will be safe while you are experimenting (Cognitect does provide the manual steps you would need to take to delete all storage)

but then what is the difference? is it like cloud is a readymade pro such that a pro user might end up configuring it like cloud?

https://docs.datomic.com/datomic-overview.html#datomic-editions The biggest difference to me is that the "Up to You" in Pro is taken care of in Cloud.

Thanks this helped!

also note, that afaict cloud doesn't have excise support

so if you need a way to permanently delete data for GDPR or other regulatory compliance reasons... that is more complicated

yeah that

Another big plus in Cloud: the Datomic Ion feature provides ready-made web-server/autoscaling/load-balancer/deployment/logging/metrics tooling that integrates perfectly with the core db features. It's pretty much a start-up bootstrap toolkit disguised as a database.
