Raising Services and People with Clojure
summary
Built a separate Clojure service that links Teachme Biz to Salesforce and ships on schedule after three months, attracting new customers when released April 1. Development relies on REPL-powered pair programming, Ring middleware, DynamoDB backend and clj-stash views, and uses Mount to manage lifecycle and Mount to resolve state-related bugs encountered when middleware duplicated session stores. Tests mock third‑party calls, a 50 req/s load test exposes clj-stash bottlenecks mitigated with ETag caching.
