I’m curious about the reasons someone would use Datomic. Did you just tried it out to evaluate it or did you have an actual use case for it? If you did have one, would you be okay to elaborate?

It's extremely tied to the Clojure community. Odds are if you write the language, you'll be pointed in that direction, even if you ask for a recommended PostgreSQL library.

It's something I struggled with - I can get any language over the line here but it's got to work with our existing data sets.

Out team chose Datomic for it's graph like properties and emphasis on data locality. This is optimal for GraphQL style patterns where you'd otherwise join a million tables
