Can someone explain the benefits of Datomic Ions? What problems is it supposed to solve and how does it compare to existing solutions?
Also, what is the story regarding local development? (I also have this concern about AWS Lambda; it seems you can only realistically run code in the actual cloud environment)
We are investing heavily in the Clojure-ecosystem (but not yet Datomic). It seems Cognitect is strongly headed into a direction which involves some kind of holistic vision about a new stack, but they don't seem to explicitly communicate this vision anywhere.

Edit: I asked the above question also on Clojure Reddit and got an interesting response: https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/8p3d5s/datomic_ion...
