Clojure At Scale @WalmartLabs

Filed under: BigData,Clojure,Functional Programming — Patrick Durusau @ 3:41 pm

From the description:

There are many resources to help you build Clojure applications. Most however use trivial examples that rarely span more than one project. What if you need to build a big clojure application comprising many projects? Over the three years that we’ve been using Clojure at WalmartLabs, we’ve had to figure this stuff out. In this session, I’ll discuss some of the challenges we’ve faced scaling our team and code base as well as our experience using Clojure in the enterprise.

I first saw this mentioned by Marc Phillips in a post titled: Walmart Runs Clojure At Scale. Marc mentions a tweet from Anthony Marcar that reads:

Our Clojure system just handled its first Walmart black Friday and came out without a scratch.

Black Friday,” is the Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States. Since 2005, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year and in 2014, $50.9 billion was spend on that one day. (Yes, billions with a “b.”)

Great narrative of issues encountered as this system was built to scale.
