They are my default data stores form projects. However I keep an open mind to using alternatives like Datomic, Neo4J, Sesame, AllegroGraph, Hbase, etc.Mark Watson, author and consultanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514730816583918651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100397.post-11533510124048670192012-08-22T16:43:02.714-07:002012-08-22T16:43:02.714-07:00Mark,

I really like to experiment with new software stacks but when it comes to doing work I get a little conservative: I usually just use a few programming languages and for data stores I tend to stick with PostgreSQL and MongoDB, I prefer deploying to Ubuntu because that is what I am used to, etc.Mark Watson, author and consultanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514730816583918651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100397.post-67712858857342584002012-07-26T16:51:07.648-07:002012-07-26T16:51:07.648-07:00Has your customer written about the decision to go...Has your customer written about the decision to go with datomic? (Assuming it's a done decision.)<br /><br />I like what I have read about datomic. A rationale for choosing datomic for something categorized as "business critical" would be interesting to see.patrickdloganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09030151653908100586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100397.post-27304150127357214662012-07-26T06:02:33.639-07:002012-07-26T06:02:33.639-07:00Thanks Daniel.

My customer (http://ianeslick.com/) has said that he will blog on some of the more theoretical aspects of data modeling using Datomic, so we can look forward to that :-)Mark Watson, author and consultanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514730816583918651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100397.post-48988840869727452312012-07-25T22:06:33.291-07:002012-07-25T22:06:33.291-07:00Thanks for the writeup Mark, you definitely saved ...Thanks for the writeup Mark, you definitely saved me some time!
