Introducing structure in Clojure

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Shows how to build a small Clojure web app that books restaurant tables by layering pure domain data, use case functions and adapters, then wiring live parts with a system map and lifecycle. Uses Clojure spec for domain validation, compojure + ring for HTTP routing, a Postgres adapter implementing a save_booking protocol and the component lifecycle library to start and stop DB and server, keeping logic testable and decoupled.
