Ep 074: Deploy, They Said. It'll Be Fun, They Said.

Functional Design in Clojure

Each week, we discuss a different topic about Clojure and functional programming.

If you have a question or topic you’d like us to discuss, tweet @clojuredesign, send an email to [e-mail], or join the #clojuredesign-podcast channel on the Clojurians Slack.

This week, the topic is: “Deploying Clojure.” We survey the myriad ways we’ve used to launch our code into production, and laugh about the various complexities we’ve found.

Selected quotes:

• “How do you get closure on the development of your Clojure code?”
• “What do you mean by production?”
• “Tomcat goes to war.”
• “That was back before containers.”
• “Trade a little bit of money for a lot of sanity.”
• “The problem with these things is the configuration you end up with is really simple after you’ve read 8 hours of documentation.”
• “The number of lines of code does not indicate the amount of effort.”
• “Every time you accept a new component into your system, you are also accepting its complexity.”
