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

We survey the myriad ways we've used to launch our code into production, and laugh about the various complexities we've found.

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 [email protected], 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."
