Growing a chatops platform and having fun with Clojure
summary
Yetibot is a Clojure chatops platform: ~11,000 lines of Clojure, ~160 commits/month from a four‑person core team, running on DigitalOcean and powering public.yetibot.com. It implements pipes and aliases and an embedded clj interpreter to propagate structured data across composed commands. Integrations handle Slack and IRC, GitHub search, Jenkins jobs, S3 config and feature flags; parsing uses Instaparse and a GraphQL API exposes the internal state. It works in production and onstage demos.
