Rich Hickey: Deconstructing the Database
InfoQ
Rich Hickey, creator of Clojure and designer of Datomic, gives a JaxConf 2012 talk that takes apart traditional database architecture. He presents a different way to think about databases and explains the reasoning behind Datomic's fact-based design.
HN points people to it as the clearest account of why Datomic is designed the way it is and of the problems with conventional database architecture.
