lein REPL server launch timed out

Question

in a liberator based clojure project we are using datomic as DB. After migrating our local dev DB to a S3 hosted one and adding the needed dependencies on our project.clj we cannot launch the REPL but the Liberator stack runs fine through lein run

My guess is that the DB connection is messing things up, so, the question is, how can I somehow "debug" or figure out what's the reason of this lein repl timeout?

My project.clj

(defproject myproject "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :main myproject.core
  :jvm-opts ["-Xmx1G"]
  :datomic {:schemas ["resources" ["myproject-schema.edn" ]]}
  :plugins [[lein-ring "0.8.10"]]
  ; cp bin/transactor config/samples/free-transactor-template.properties resources/transactor.properties
  :profiles {:dev
             {:datomic {
                        ; :config resources/transactor.properties
                        ; :db-uri "datomic:free://127.0.0.1:4334/myproject"}
                        :db-uri "datomic:ddb://us-east-1/datomica/myproject"}

              }
             }

It can sometimes take a while for all the ducks to be in order. Specify :repl-options in your project.clj file with a longer time-out like this:

:repl-options {
             ;; If nREPL takes too long to load it may timeout,
             ;; increase this to wait longer before timing out.
             ;; Defaults to 30000 (30 seconds)
             :timeout 120000
             }

Hopefully that should do the trick.
