On “Rethinking caching in web apps”
…o agents that live on your app servers, but unlike the Solr configuration these agents receive updates to the index in real time. At a glance at least, it seems to offer all of the advantages of the Solr solution while still allowing relatively fast updates to the data. This is an interesting talk on the topic by Rich Hickey (who created Datomic): link to this video . It's long but I thought it was worthwhile.…

On “Ask HN: CTM gave CS the “kernel language”. Is there a “kernel database”?”
Although tangential to your question, I feel you might enjoy presentations by Rich Hickey wherein he describes traditional database architectures and presents the whys and wherefores behind Datomic. For example: 1 link to this video 2 link

On “Idempotence: What is it and why should I care?”
You will enjoy the fact-based database Datomic, which is the reason Rich Hickey made Clojure: link to this video Datalog is a much, much, much query language better than SQL: link

Usage of Datomic
I recently watched Deconstructing the Database presentation\1\ of Rich Hickey.
I wonder about the usage of Datomic in real-life. Did you find the opportunity to use it? What are the experiences? Is there any alternative that apply similar philosophies in industry?
