Clojure in production: what do we use in real-world services?

In this video, let's talk about what we use in our real-world Clojure applications and services. We will discuss what we use to create the project and manage dependencies: leiningen or deps.edn. We will compare options to manage application components: mount, component and integrant. We will also discuss other common aspects of the service. HTTP abstractions and routing: ring, pedestal, bidi, reitit, compojure. We will talk about making HTTP requests as well: clj-http or a new wrapper to use HTTP client from JDK11? Schemas and validation: schema, clojure.spec or malli. How do we work with relational databases: next.jdbc, HikariCP, HugSQL and HoneySQL. Also we will discuss some tooling: cljfmt (as the code formatter), clj-kondo (as our preferred linter) and babashka to write our CLI tasks and scripts.
