"Growing Data Center networking mgmt UI using ClojureScript, Reagent and re-frame"

on YouTube ↗38m

" summary

A production SPA built with ClojureScript, Reagent and re-frame manages ~400 UI screens, almost 800 API endpoints and about 100k lines of ClojureScript for 300+ customers (largest deployment ~400 racks). The UI uses a custom route map to traverse dependent fetches and preserve polling, a composable container pattern, a reusable forms with clojure.spec lifecycle, a collection DSL for table/card/list views, Selenium tests for CI, and integrations added post-acquisition; these patterns and numbers prove the approach scales.
