I don't see why paying for Datomic would be a problem, but if the license is as crazy as it used to be, that's a bit scary.
For example, the license at least used to forbid even saying "Datomic" aloud in public.
Publishing benchmarks was also forbidden, which is a big red flag. If Datomic performs well, wouldn't Cognitect want lots of benchmarks out there? If it doesn't, they wouldn't!

You don't find Kubernetes needlessly complicated? Do you actually need Docker or Kubernetes?
