Real Estate Clojure
summary
Case study of a UK property portal built in under ten months using Clojure with an Elasticsearch frontend, Postgres golden store, S3/SQS ingestion and CloudFront caching, web stack on Ring/Compojure/Liberator and a core.async pipeline with Prismatic schema contracts. The system ingests data from 5,000 branches, handles many inconsistent CSV/date formats with mungers and tests, and launches January 26th; outcome: simple, blisteringly fast UI, functioning production site backed by automated diagnostics and a TV campaign.
