As others have said - a more focused question would help. Our back end runs on ring + compojure using https://github.com/jkk/honeysql for querying and straight https://github.com/clojure/java.jdbc for writes. We use https://github.com/marick/Midje/wiki rather than clojure.test and https://github.com/gdeer81/marginalia for documentation.
This is the first major Clojure app, so lots of lessons have been learnt. Things I wish I knew: - read the ring spec - it is all just a map, phenomenally powerful. Now read it again - consider using https://github.com/zcaudate/lein-midje-doc as well as/instead of marginalia - consider using https://github.com/jaycfields/expectations instead of midje. Midje is fantastic, but expectations, particularly the 'diffing' looks like a real win - consider using something like https://github.com/prismatic/schema to document your API from day one. - you can fight it as hard as you like but you will eventually end up using emacs, clojure-mode, cider, paredit and magit and then wonder how you ever lived without it, but not without spending at least a month or two cursing anything to do with emacs :). Just my random, off the cuff thoughts. Hope they help. On Thursday, April 10, 2014 3:13:19 PM UTC+1, Kashyap CK wrote: > > Hi, > I have the opportunity to build a set of services from scratch.
