Gluing Clojure Microservices

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Two small Clojure libs: easyrpc (proof‑of‑concept RPC that calls remote functions over HTTP, serializes payloads and exceptions with nippy serialization, synchronous, not for large objects, currently serializes whole request before server processing) and redis-atom (an IAtom2 implementation that stores atoms in Redis, supports swap/reset/validation/notifiers). easyrpc works end‑to‑end for simple messages but lacks timeouts, queue transports, and production hardening; redis-atom is closer to production. Source is on GitHub.
