Firetomic
summary
Builds a Datomic-like store named Firetomic by wiring DataScript/Datahike through replikativ’s konserve and datahike into Firebase, serializing and storing DataScript transactions as an append-only stream. Implements a Kafka-like queue (a homemade Kafka-on-Firebase), shards values to avoid Firebase’s 10 MB per-item limit, and hits a write bottleneck around ~2 MB/s (laptop thermal and billing effects noted). Demonstrates creating DBs, transacting entities, querying, and deleting — the prototype works; next step is connecting a standalone Datahike server.
