What's the state of Datomic these days? I stopped keeping up with it a while back when I stopped really paying attention to the Clojure space in general. Last I remember hearing it was still a purely pay to use their instances sort of deal.

Continuous, minor improvements over time (just like Clojure). Nothing too groundbreaking lately AFAIK, but still worthy to use if you have the use cases for it. Changelog can be found here: https://docs.datomic.com/on-prem/changes.html

There's on-prem which is the original model, and then the newer Datomic Cloud (came about in ~2018) which is installed from AWS Marketplace and billed through AWS. There are some feature differences between them. With on-prem there are free and $$ licensing options. Might be that the on-prem gratis licensing options were more limited before.

Some of the cool kids in Clojure world seem to have moved over to XTDB these days.
