Overview of this book

The microservice architecture is sweeping the world as the de facto pattern with which to design and build scalable, easy-tomaintain web applications. This book will teach you common patterns and practices, and will show you how to apply these using the Clojure programming language. This book will teach you the fundamental concepts of architectural design and RESTful communication, and show you patterns that provide manageable code that is supportable in development and at scale in production. We will provide you with examples of how to put these concepts and patterns into practice with Clojure. This book will explain and illustrate, with practical examples, how teams of all sizes can start solving problems with microservices. You will learn the importance of writing code that is asynchronous and non-blocking and how Pedestal helps us do this. Later, the book explains how to build Reactive microservices in Clojure that adhere to the principles underlying the Reactive Manifesto. We finish off by showing you various ways to monitor, test, and secure your microservices. By the end, you will be fully capable of setting up, modifying, and deploying a microservice with Clojure and Pedestal.

Clojure IDE

An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides utilities for programmers to develop, build, and debug software applications. It consists of a code editor, build automation tool, and a debugger. Clojure has a growing number of IDEs available, out of which Emacs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs) and Vim (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_(text_editor)) stand out. Although this book does not cover IDEs, wherever one is referred to, uses Emacs as the IDE. Both Emacs and Vim are text editors that need additional plugins to support Clojure. Emacs needs CIDER (https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider), whereas Vim gets REPL support using Fireplace (https://github.com/tpope/vim-fireplace).

Some other Clojure IDEs that are widely used are:
