Timeless Data: Learning Datomic's Model of the World

Datomic is a general-purpose database that approaches data differently—treating it as a series of immutable facts, preserving a full history of changes, and separating storage from compute. This hands-on workshop introduces Datomic's core concepts through practical exercises in transactions, Datalog querying, and working with time-based data.

You'll also get a brief introduction to Clojure, the language Datomic is built for, but no prior experience is required. Even if you're new to both Clojure and Datomic, this workshop is a great starting point. Along the way, you'll encounter architectural patterns—like immutability, temporal modeling, and decoupling—that can inform your broader development practice, regardless of the tools you use.
