Per customer conversations. I am making a searchable post to answer the question in the subject.

If CI is running in AWS you don’t need or want the socks proxy, just use ordinary AWS VPC mechanisms to give CI access to Datomic Cloud, see e.g.

What if you are using a hosted CI (e.g. CircleCI, Travis, etc.)?
